CHAPTER 


The  original  main  line  of  the  Boston  &.  Lowell  Railroad  was  only 
twenty-six  miles  in  length;  and  for  many  years  it  remained  "little 
among  the  thousands"  of  great  railway  lines.  Now  that  it  has 
widely  reached  out,  and,  by  purchase,  lease  and  business  contract, 
secured  the  management  or  traffic  of  many  connecting  and  tributary 
roads,  so  that  it  has  become  the  largest  railroad  system  in  New 
England,  it  is  interesting  to  recall  the  fact  that,  as  it  was  the  first 
railroad  chartered  in  New  England  for  passenger  transportation,  so  it 
was  the  first  to  be  completed  and  operated  its  entire  length,  and  it  was 
the  third  or  fourth  in  the  United  States. 

In  1821,  what  is  now  the  city  of  Lowell  was  a  straggling  village  of 
twelve  houses ;  some  time  previous  a  canal  had  been  dug  around  Paw- 
tut  a^t  Falls,  on  the  Merrimaclc  River,  for  purposes  of  navigation.    In 

1822,  an  organization  was  effected  under  the  name  of  "  The  Loclcs  and 
Canal  Co."  on  the  Merrimack  River,  to  utilize  the  water  power  for 
manufacturing  purposes,  and  the  first  wlieel  was  set  in  motion  Sept.  1, 

1823.  The  facilities  for  the  transportation  of  raw  material  to,  and 
manufactured  goods  from,  the  place,  were  the  river  from  Newburyport 
via  Haverliill,  tlie  Middlesex  Canal  from  Boston,  and  the  highways ;  the 
latter  being  sandy  in  summer,  muddy  in  spring  and  early  winter,  and 
often  blocl^aded  with  snow  in  mid-winter.  In  1829,  Messrs.  William 
Appleton,  Patriclc  T.  Jaclvson  and  Kirk:  Boott,  of  Boston,  with  other 
far-seeing  men  of  the  owners  and  managers  of  water  power  and  mills 
located  at  Lowell,  were  convinced  that  there  must  be  greater  trans- 
portation facilities  for  the  proper  development  of  their  investments ; 
for  already  on  an  average  as  many  as  twenty-four  tons  of  freight  passed 
daily  between  tlie  manufacturing  village  and  the  then  young  city  of 
Boptrtn,  .and  "six  st".ge-e.rt.arhes,  drav/n  by  four  and  six  horses  each," 
conveyed  *'  from  100  to  120  passengers  daily  from  one  town  to  the 


8 


other."  Tliis  is  a  small  amount  of  freight  and  number  of  passengers 
to  us,  but  for  that  day  indicates  that  great  business  activity  had  begun 
in  eastern  Massachusetts.  It  was  evident  that  something  must  be  done 
speedily,  and  certain  enterprises  in  England  and  other  parts  of  this 
country  attracted  their  attention  and  directed  their  efforts. 

In  1827,  a  road  three  miles  in  length,  v/ith  rails  of  wood  covered  w;th 
iron,  was  opened  from  the  Quincy  granite  quarries  to  the  Neponset 
River,  and  successfully  used  with  horse-propelling  power.  This  same 
year  another  similar  road,  nine  miles  in  length,  was  opened  among  the 
coal  mines  of  the  Lehigh  region  in  Pennsylvania;  and,  in  1829,  the  Del- 
aware &  Hudson  Canal  Co.  constructed  a  third  railroad.  All  of  these 
were  operated  either  by  gravity,  animals,  or  stationary  steam  engines, 
and  were  for  freight  transportation  only.  The  latter  company,  hearing 
of  the  success  of  Stephenson  In  moving  loads  of  coal  in  England  on  a 
railroad,  sent  an  agent  there, who  purchased  a  locomotive  steam  engine 
named  the  "  Stourbridge  Lion,"  which  was  tested  on  their  road  at 
Honesdale,  Penn.,  August  8,  1829,  "which  was,  without  a  shadow  of 
doubt,  the  day  the  first  locomotive  turned  a  driving  wheel  upon  a  road 
on  the  American  continent." 

The  Massachusetts  Legislature  of  1829  had  ordered  a  survey,  at  State 
t-xpense,  to  ascertain  the  practicability  of  a  railroad  between  Boston 
and  Lowell.  It  was  made  by  Mr.  James  Haywood,  and  his  report 
transmitted  to  the  Legislature  by  Gov.  Levi  Lincoln  on  Jan.  1,  1830. 
The  previous  October,  Stephenson  had  made  his  successful  experiment 
with  a  locomotive  steam  engine  on  tlie  Manchester  &  Liverpool  Rail- 
road. All  these  movements  had  been  closely  watched  by  those  inter- 
ested in  the  Lowell ' '  Locks  and  Canal  Co. ,"  and  on  Jan.  18, 1830,  Patrick 
T.  Jackson,  Esq.,  requested  Kirk  Boott,  Esq.,  agent,  to  call  a  meeting 
of  the  directors,  by  whom  he  hoped  a  meeting  of  the  "proprietors" 
would  be  called,  and  he  states  that  his  "  object  is  to  draw  the  attention 
of  the  proprietors  of  that  stock  to  the  project  for  building  a  railroad 
from  this  place  (Boston)  to  Lowell."  The  directors'  meeting  was  the 
22d  and  the  proprietors  the  27tli  of  January,  at  the  house  of  Mr.  Jackson, 
No.  22  Winter  Street,  Boston,  when  the  first  step  was  taken  for  the  or- 
ganization of  a  company  to  build  the  Boston  &  Lowell  Railroad.  The 
project  was  strenuously  opposed  by  the  owners  of  the  Middlesex  Canal, 
but  the  Legislature  of  that  year  granted  a  charter,  giving  the  company 
the  exclusive  right  to  railroad  transportation  between  Boston  and 
Lowell  for  tliirty  j'ears,  which  rights  the  courts  afterwards  sustained 
them  in  asserting.  The  road  was  so  well  located  and  built  that  there 
no  grade  over  ten  feet  to  the  mile,  except  at  the  overhead  crossing  of  the 
Fitchburg  Railroad  in  Somerville,  and  all  the  curves  are  wide  and  easy. 

A  copy  of  "The  Merchants'  and  Traders'  Guide  and  Strangers' 
Memorandum  Book  for  the  year  of  our  Lord  1836,"  says :  "  This  road 
was  opened  for  public  accommodation  on  the  24th  of  June,  1835,  [the 
Providence  road  was  opened  June  11th,  and  th3  Worcester,  July 4th,  of 
the  same  year,]  and  its  cost  thus  far  exceeds  $1,000,000.    The  road  is

*>uilt  with  a  single  Irack,  and  is  constructed  of  the  iron  edge-rail,  sup- 
j>orted  by  cast-iron  chairs  on  stone  blocks  and  stone  sleepers,  resting 
on  stone  foundation  walls.  A  second  track  is  commenced  and  laid 
about  five  miles."  This  second  track  was  not  so  expensively  laid  with 
stone  foundation  walls,  as  it  was  found  that  the  frost  would  not  heave 
the  sleepers  so  much  as  was  feared.  All  of  the  stone  blocks  and  stone 
sleepers  have  now  been  removed,  being  replaced  with  wood ;  but  many 
of  them  may  yet  be  seen  lying  by  the  railroad  side  between  Boston  and 
Lowell.  The  rails  were  not  of  the  now  universal  "T  "  pattern,  but  what 
were  calle<l  "  flsh  bellies,"  because  they  were  wider  perpendicularly  in 
the  middle  than  the  ends  where  they  rested  on  the  chairs ;  they  were 
of  iron  and  wei^jhed  only  35  pounds  to  the  yard  and  broke  easily.  The 
first  locomotive  used  on  the  road  was  built  in  England  and  amed 
the  "  Stephenson,"  and,  among  other  peculiarities,  had  the  plates  on 
the  side  of  her  flre-box  welded  instead  of  riveted.  The  first  passenger 
car  was  an  open  one ;  covers  were  soon  provided,  above  which  was  a 
chaise-top  for  the  conductor,  who  was  the  lookout,  and  carried  a  sil- 
ver whistle  to  blow  as  a  signal,  which  however  could  hardly  be  heard 
when  the  train  was  in  motion,  on  account  of  the  force  of  the  wind. 
The  engines  had  no  cabs,  and  the  engineer  and  fireman  were  exposed  to 
all  the  extremes  of  weather. 

"  The  Merchants'  and  Traders'  Guide,"  before  quoted,  aiso  contains 
the  following  interesting  notice  in  connection  with  the  above :  "Before 
the  starting  of  the  cars,  stages  leave  Nos.  9  and  11  Elm  Street,  and  City

The  Boston  terminus  was  then  at  the  foot  of  Lowe,  ^  _  it,  where  the 
freight-house  now  is.  In  1857,  the  present  site  of  the  station  on  Cause- 
way Street  was  occupied,  and  the  present  costly  and  commodious  depot, 
700  feet  long,  having  a  frontage  of  205  feet,  with  a  train-house  having 
an  arch  with  a  clear  span  of  120  xeet  without  any  central  support,  was 
occupied  in  1874.  The  spot  upon  which  it  stands  is  made  land,  and  the 
Blackstone  Canal  which  formerly  crossed  Boston  along  the  line  of  the 
street  of  that  name,  intersected  Causeway  Street  near  this  point,  that 
street  being  originally  what  its  name  implies,  a  causeway  with  water 
on  either  side.  The  writer's  father  has  told  him  he  had  often  seen 
vessel's  jib-booms  extending  over  that  treet,  the  water  allowing  them 
to  be  moored  by  its  side. 

A  SIGNIFICANT  FACT. 

The  Boston  and  Lowell  is  now  a  double-track  road  as  far  as  Nashua, 
(and  the  Concord  Kailroad,  constituting  apai-t  of  the  through  line,  is 
double-tracked  to  Concord,)  and,  including  all  its  branches  and  leased 
lines,  is  in  the  best  possible  condition  as  regards  the  road-bed,  bridges, 


a

crossings,  switches  and  signals,  and  is  thoroughly  equipped  in  all 
respects,  with  elegant  coaches  having  every  appliance  for  comfort  and 
safety ;  its  locomotives  are  of  the  best  and  mas';  powerful  pattern ;  Its 
engineors,  conductors  and  train-men  intelligent  and  efficient  men,  who 
have  grown  up  with  the  road ;  while  the  management  is  both  progres- 
sive and  careful ;  all  of  which  accounts  for  the  significant  fact  that 
on  "the  old  Boston  and  Lowell  road"  no  passenger  has  evehbeen 

FATALLY  INJURED  WHILE  INSIDE  ITS  CARS.

It  is  the  aim  of  the  management  to  have  this  continue  true  in  the

CHAPTER  IT. 


"  Otir  <4ea-Iike  lakes  and  mountains 
Piled  to  the  clouds,—  our  rivers  overhung 
By  forests  wliich  have  known  no  other  change 
For  ages,  than  the  bidding  and  the  fall 
Of  leaves,— our  valleys  lovlier  than  thosfl 
Which  th«  old  poets  sang  of." 

—Whittie, 

Every  traveller  by  this  line  will  be 
impressed,  as  be  enters  the  rotunda  of 
the  Causeway  Street  station  in  Boston, 
with  a  sen<  of  its  roominess  and  the 
completeness  of  all  its  appointments, 
including  an  excellent  caf  6 ;  and,  as  he 
proceeds  to  the  loug  and  high  clear-arched  train-house,  with  its  wide, 
well-lighted  platforms,  lie  will  find  his  train  composed  of  the  most 
convenient  and  comfortable  coaches ;  and  soon,  with  ticket  purchased, 
baggage  properly  checked,  bundles  bestowed,  and  a  copy  of  "  Summer 
Saunteriags  by  the  B.  &L."  in  hand,  he  is  ready  to  start  for  the  country, 
mountains  or  lakes. 

As  the  long  train  rolls  out  of  the  station,  the  Charles  River,  asso- 
ciated V,  ith  thouglts  of  Longfellow,  Cambridge  University  and  college 
regattas,  is  soon  crossed.  It  was  at  some  other  point  than  this  that 
the  above-named  poet  sang  of  it, 

"River!  that  in  silence  windest 

Through  the  mead  ws  bright  and  free. 
*         *         *         *         1  love  thee, 

Nor  because  thy  waves  of  blue 
Prom  celestial  seas  above  thee 

Take  their  own  celestial  hue." 

As  the  dravbridge  is  crossed,  on  either  side  of  which  an  abundance 
ox  shippiug  is  waiting  its  turn  to  go  up  or  down  the  river,  the  look  of

the  current  does  not  remind  one  of  tlie  poetic  images  of  the  bard ;  but 
does  remind  us  of  the  fact  that  the  harbor  and  the  Charles  nearly  sur- 
round what  Ralph  Waldo  Emerson  fondly  calls  — 

"Thou  dailing  town  of  ours," 

and  leads  him  to  say  in  other  expressive  and  suggestive  words  — 

"  The  rocky  nook  with  hill-tops  three 

Looked  eastward  from  the  farms, 
And  twice  each  day  the  flowing  sea 

Took  Boston  in  its  arms." 

In  another  moment  the  train  is  passing  into  East  Cambridge,  where  is 

located  one  of  the  Middlesex  County  court  houses  and  jails.    As  the 

train  rounds  a  slight  curve,  looking  to  the  left  backwards,  a  pleasant 

view  is  caught  of  the  much  be-praised  Boston,  of  which  her  versifying 

son  Holmes  has  written, 

"And,  Bun  like,  from  lier  Beacon-height 

The  dome-crowned  city  spreads  her  rays ; 

***** 

Peace,  Freedom,  Wealth !  no  fairer  view, 

Though  with  the  wild-bird's  restless  wings 

We  sailed  beneath  the  noon-tide's  blue 

Or  chasedthc  moonlight's  endless  rings." 

Sweeping  through  the  region  of  sugar  refineries  and  manufactories  and 
up  the  grade  to  cross  over  the  Eitchburg  Kailroad,  a  look  to  the  right 
gives  a  clear  view  of  Charlestowu  and  Bunker  Hill  with  its  historic 
monument,  and  close  at  hand  the  McLean  Insane  Asj^lum.  Now  the 
line  passes  through  the  suburban  villages  comprising  the  city  of  Som- 
erville.    Between  Winter  Hill  and  College  Hill  is  Powder  House  Hill, 

on  the  left,  where  may  be  seen  a 
round  wind -mill  tower  of  brick 
which  has  a  history.  Originally  a 
mill  for  grinding  corn,  tradition 
says  it  was  the  trysting  place  of 
two  lovers,  who  were  pursued  by 
the  maiden's  irate  father.  She 
took  refuge  in  the  loft,  standing 
on  the  trap-door,  he  on  the  mill- 
stones, when  she  pulled  the  rope 
which  set  the  fans  in  motion  and 
started  the  machinery,  by  which 
the  father  was  so  maimed  tliat  it 
caused  his  death.  Superstition  led 
to  its  abandonment  as  a  mill  and  subsequently  It  was  used  for  a  powder 
house,  such  as  every  town  was  required  to  possess  for  the  storage  of 
ammunition  against  time  of  public  danger.  It  wa,s  in  such  use  in  1775, 
and  upon  rumor  that  the  British  intended  its  capture,  a  part  was  re- 
moved to  Concord,  and  th'^  enemy  secured  the  remainder;  so  that  In 
the  Concord  and  Lexington  fight,  April  ]!>,  1775,  1:  >th  parties  used 
powder  from  the  stock  originally  stored  in  this  powder  house.    Just

beyond  on  the  left  is  College  Hill,  crowned  by  the  imposing  buildings 
of  Tufts  Coll*^ge,  which  is  under  the  especial  patronage  of  the  Univer- 
salists.  When  the  numerous  trees  are  grown  it  will  be  one  of  the 
flnest  college  sites  in  the  country. 

At  Somerv'ille,  about  three  miles  from  Boston,  the  Middlesex  Central 
Branch  diverges  to  the  left,  leading  through  many  attractive  villages, 
where  elegant  and  cosy  residences  abound,  to  Arlington  (formerly 
West  Cambridge),  Lexington  and  Concord;  thence  past  the  Massachu- 
setts Reformatory  Prison,  through  Acton,  AVestford  and  Dunstable, 
making  connection  again  with  the  main  line  at  Nashua.  There  are  few 
railroads  in  the  country  of  equal  length  which  pass  so  many  grandly 
historic  localities.  From  puritan  and  patriotic  Boston;  past  Bunker 
Hill,  in  plain  view ;  Cambridge,  Washington's  headquarters ;  Charles- 
town  Neck,  between  Charlestown  and  Somerville,  over  which  the 
patriots  retreated  after  the  Bunker  Hill  fight ;  Powder  House  Hill,  in 
Medford ;  Lexington,  where 

"  Slowly  the  mlBt  o'er  the  meadow  was  creeping, 
Bright  on  the  dewy  huds  glistened  the  sun, 
When  from  his  couch,  while  his  children  were  sleepiag, 
Rose  the  hold  rebel  and  shouldered  his  gun," 

and  went  forth  to  hear  the  first  volley  fired,  and  see  the  first  blood  shed. 
In  the  Revolutionary  war;  and  Concord,  where,  according  to  Emerson, 

"  By  the  rude  bridge  that  arched  the  flood, 

Their  flag  to  April's  breeze  unfurled, 
Hero  once  the  embattled  farmers  stood, 

And  fired  the  shot  heard  'round  the  world;' 
and  as  Lowell  says  — 

Here  English  Law  and  English  thought 

'Gainot  the  self-will  of  England  fought; 

And  here  were  men  (co-equal  with  their  fate). 

Who  did  great  things,  unconscious  they  were  great. 

They  dreamed  not  what  a  die  was  cast 

With  that  first  answering  shot." 

Here  the  British  were  succes&fully  witlistood,  and  from  here  turned 
back  for  that  harassing,  and  to  many  of  them  fatal,  march  over  the 
road  they  had  so  confidently  traversed  in  the  morning. 

At  West  Medford  a  unique  station  building  may  be  seen  on  the  left. 
Its  thick  walls  are  built  of  stones  contributed  by  residents  and  others, 
and  which  have  come  from  all  the  (luarters  of  the  world  :  from  Europe, 
Asia,  Africa,  South  America,  the  islands  of  the  sea,  and  tlig  sea-bottom, 
there  being  corals  from  the  Pacific,  and  a  good-sized  piece  of  ragged 
boulder-stone  from  the  Devil's  Britlge,  Gay  Head,  on  which  occurred 
the  sad  wreck  of  the  "City  of  Columbus."  There  are  stones  small  and 
great,  rough  and  smooth,  of  all  colors  and  values,  from  a  rare  speci- 
men to  a  rough  mosH-cuvcrcd  pasture  stone. 

On  the  right  are  Middlesex  Fells,  a  wooded  section  which  it  is  pro- 
posed to  make  into  a  great  park  and  preserve  in  its  natural  state.  On 
the  left.  Mystic  Pond  is  soon  passed,  from  wh'ch  Charlestown,  Chelsea 
and  East  Boston  have  fresh  water;  then  Winchester,  the   place  of

elegant  country  ho-.es  and  a  few  manufactories.    At  this  point  the 
mam  line  divides.    The  old  route  was  to  the  right;  the  new  loop-line 
diverges  to  the  left,  and  passes  directly  through  Woburn  Centre  and 
Nor  h  Woburn  village  to  Wilmington,  where  it  again  unites  with  the 
old  line.     From  Winchester  to  Woburn  there  was  formerly  a  single 
track  branch  two  miles  in  length.   The  new  line  is  double-tracked,  and 
over  It  pass  many  of  the  through  passenger  trains;  thus  bringing  one 
of  the  oldest,  richest  and  most  thriving  towns  of  "  Old  Middlesex"  on 
to  a  main  thoroughfare.     Originally  Woburn  was  called  Chariestown 
Village,  and  the  first  house  was  built  in  1641,  just  a  little  west  of  what 
IS  now  Winchester,  on  the  bank  of  the  Aberjona  River,  and  occupied 
by  Edward  Converse   and  his   successors  for  many  years.    Edward 
Johnson,  one  of  the  first  grantees,  who  was  a  prominent  citizen  of 
the  Colony,  and  one  of  the  commissioners  who  discovered  Winnipe- 
saukee,  the  source  of  the  Merrimack,  tells   in  his  rare  and  valuable 
book,  called  "  Wonder  Working  Providence  of  Zion's  Saviour  in  New 
England,"  of  the   organization   of   the  present  First  Congregational 
church  m  1042,  the  ordination  of  Mr.  Thomas  Carter  as  pastor,  and  the 
incorporation  of  the  town  the  same  year.   The  act  of  the  General  Court 
constituting  the  place  a  town  is  brief  enough   for  a  model;  it  is  as 
follows  :  -  "Chariestown  Village  is  called  Wooburne."    It  is  supposed 
thpt  the  name  was  derived  from  the  abbey  and  park  of  Woburn    in 
Bedfordshire.    It  originally  included  what  arc  now  the  towns  of  Win- 
Chester,  formerly  called  South  Woburn,  Burlington,  originally  called 
Shawshine,  and  Wilmington,  originally  known  as  Goshen  Villa<'e 

Woburn  has  always  been  patriotic,  and  in  "the  old  French  War" 
sent  150  of  her  1500  population  as  soldiers.  In  the  Revolutionary 
struggle  she  was  among  the  foremost.  Two  days  before  the  battle 
of  Lexington,  a  company  of  fifty  "minute  men"  was  formed,  and  at 
the  alarm  on  the  morning  of  April  19,  1775,  nearly  all  of  them 
hastened  to  Lexington. 

"Swift  as  their  summons  camo  tliey  left 

Tlie  plow  mid-furrow  standing  still, 

The  half.ground  corn  grist  in  the  mill, 
The  spado  in  earth,  the  axe  in  cleft." 

The  manufacture  of  leather  for  shoe  stock  is  the  great  industry  of  the 
place,  besides  which  there  are  many  other  flourishing  manufactories 

The  ccr^-e  of  the  town,  with  its  common,  soldiers'  monument, 
large  churches,  beauti*-ul  public  library  building  and  elegant  private 
residences,  impresses  the  passing  traveller,  or  the  visitor  to  the  town 
Two  miles  beyond  is  North  Woburn,  a  flourishini;  village,  now  to  feel 
the  impetus  of  the  main  line  of  railway  through  its  pleasant  region 
Along  hero  the  track  is  locat(>(l  l)y  tlie  side  of  wlsat  remains  of  tlic 
old  Middlesex  Canal,  which  at  this  poait  almost  retains  its  original 
appearance.  A  few  miles  farther  on,  in  Wilmington,  its  course  "may 
also  be  traced,  both  its  tow-path  and  its  channel;  and  in  some  parts 
of  the  latter  may  be  seen  "springs  of  water,     *     *     *   grass  with 


16 


reeds  and  rushes."  The  railroad  ruined  its  business,  which  had  only 
paid  for  a  very  few  years;  and  in  1859  the  Supreme  Court  issued  a 
decree  extinguishing  its  charter. 

Woburn  was  the  birth-place  of  the  distinguished  scientist  of  the 
last  century,  Benjamin  Thompson,  Count  llumford,  also  the  home  of 
Mosos  Cleveland,  ancestor  of  President  Cleveland,  and  of  Charles 
Goodyear  when  he  conceived  the  idea  of  vulcanizing  India  rubber. 

On  the  old  line  to  the  right,  a  short  distance  from  Winchester,  is 
Montvalc,  where  diverges  a  branch  road  to  Stoneham,  which  is  located 
on  an  elevated  ridge,  and  is  a  busy  shoe-manufacturing  place.  At 
Wilmington  a  branch  extends  to  Wilmington  Jurction,  over  what 
was  tlie  old  road-bed  of  the  Boston  &  Maine  railroad  when  it  was 
originally  a  branch  of  the  Boston  &  Lowell,  an  I  from  thence  to 
the  great  manufacturing  city  of  Lawrence,  and  frequent  and  fast 
trains  land  passengers  at  the  station  in  the  heart  of  tlie  city,  making 
this  the  most  desirable  route  between  Boston  and  Lawrence. 

From  Wilmington,  the  main  line  continues  through  country  villages 
in  Billerica,  and  then  approaches  Lowell,  the  first  and  the  great  cotton 
city  of  America.  Here  the  Framingham  and  Lowell  branch  of  the  Old 
Colony  Kailroad  system  comes  in  on  the  left  from  the  southeast,  and  the 
Lowell  and  Lawrence  and  the  Salem  and  Lowell  branches  of  the  B.  &L. 
on  the  right, — the  foimer  of  these  connecting  the  two  great  manufac- 
turing cities  on  the  Merrimack,  and  the  latter  giving  direct  communi- 
cation with  the  historic  city  of  Salem,  with  its  surrounding  seaside 
resorts,  and  museums  containing  relics  of  colonial  and  witchcraft  days, 
—passing  also  through  Peabody,  formerly  a  part  of  the  great  town  of 
Dfinvers,  which  was  the  birthplace  of  the  great  London  banker,  George 
Peabody,  and  of  Nathaniel  Bowditch,  the  distinguished  writer  on 
mathematics  and  navagation.  Mr.  Peubody's  tomb  is  in  Harmony 
Grove,  which  may  be  seen  from  the  cars  between  Peabody  and  Salem. 
Immense  quantities  of  coal  are  transported  over  this  branch  from  Salem 
to  Lawrence,  Lowell,  and  other  points  still  farther  inland. 

The  main  line  as  it  enters  Lowell  passes  through  a  rock-cut  which 
was  thought  a  marvel  of  engineering  skill  when  the  road  was  built. 
Through  trains  stop  at  Ivliddlesex  Street  depot ;  but  cars  with  Lowell 
passengers  are  drawn  still  farther  into  the  city  over  and  by  the  side 
of  the  canals,  to  the  Merrimack  Street  station  in  the  very  heart  of  the 
city. 

The  through  trains  continue  north  along  the  banks  of  the  noble  Mer- 
rimack River,  where  the  ever-changing  views  opened  up  by  its  winding 
course  are  a  continual  source  of  pleasure.  John  Greenleaf  Whittler's 
home  is  on  the  banks  of  tlie  Merrimack ;  and  of  it  he  has  never  tired  of 
sinffing  in  maDv  sonss  of  various  keys.     Tn  o.v.o  '■>1r,cc='

For  nearly  60  miles,  from  Lowell  to  Concord,  N.  H.,  the  railroad 
continues  along  the  banks  of  the  charming  and  industrious  stream 
which  drains  central  New  England;  the  scenery  has  already  changed 
the  views  broadening  with  the  long  reaches  of  the  river,  while  high 
hills  are  frequently  to  be  seen  in  the  distance.

The  several  cities  named,  and  especially  Concord,— a  very  handsome 
and  attractive  place,  and  also  the  capital  of  the  Granite  State,— would 
repay  a  visit.  At  Concord  are  two  well-kept  hotels,  the  Eagle  and  the 
Phoenix ;  and,  in  addition  to  the  points  of  attraction  within  the  city, 
there  are  fine  drives  in  the  vicinity.  The  State  House  is  a  handsome 
build'ng,  very  pleasantly  situated  in  the  centre  of  a  littl"  park;  and  it 
contains  a  large  number  of  historical  portraits,  battle-flags,  etc.  The 
city  is  beautifully  located  in  a  region  which  was  a  great  favorite  with 
the  Indians. 

"  The  Nashua  meadows  lay  green  and  unshorn, 
And  the  hills  of  Pentucket  were  tasselled  with  corn. 

But  the  Penacook  Valh.y  was  fairer  than  these, 
And  greener  its  grasses  and  taller  its  trees, 
E'er  the  sound  of  an  .'ix(  in  the  forest  had  rung, 
Or  the  mower  hie  scythe  in  the  meadow  had  swung. 

In  their  sheltered  repose  looking  out  from  the  wood 
The  bark-builded  wigwams  of  Penacook  stood, 
Here  glided  the  corn-dance,  the  council-fire  shone. 
And  against  the  red  war-post  the  hatchet  was  thrown." 
And  among  other  delightful  things  which  Whittier  has  told  is  — 
"A  story  of  the  marriage  of  the  Chief 
Of  Saugus  to  the  dusky  "Weetamoo, 
Daughter  of  Passaconaway,  who  dwelt 
In  the  old  time  upon  the  Merrimack." 

The  Story  is  that  Winnipurkit,  otherwise  called  George,  Sachem  of 
Saugus,  married  a  daughter  oi  the  great  chief  of  the  Penacooks, 
whose  principal  location  was  where  Concord  now  stands.  There  was 
a  great  feast,  and  then  the  bride  was  accompanied  to  Winnipurkit's 
home  at  Saugus,  on  the  sea-coast,  by  a  band  of  prominent  men.  After 
a  season  she  went  to  her  father's  on  a  visit,  and  was  escorted  by  some 
of  her  husband's  chiefs ;  but  when  she  was  ready  to  return,  a  fdling- 
out  occurred  between  Passaconaway,  her  father,  and  Winnipurkit,  her 
husband,  over  a  matter  of  Indian  etiquette ;  neither  would  send  an 
escort  with  her,  or  for  her.  At  last  she  determined  to  return  alone, 
and  at  the  time  of  the  spring  freshet  set  out  in  a  canoe  on  "the 
troubled  stream,"  and  met  her  fate  in  the  Amoskeag  Falls,  at  what  is 
now  Manchester. 

"  Sick  and  weary  of  her  lonely  life, 
Heedless  of  peril  the  still  faithful  wife 
Had  left  her  mother's  grave,  her  father's  door, 
To  seek  the  wigwam  of  her  chief  once  more. 

Down  the  white  rapids  like  a  sere  leaf  whirled, 

On  the  sharp  rocks  and  piled  up  ices  hurled. 

Empty  and  broken,  circled  the  canoe 

In  the  vexed  pool  below  —  but,  where  was  Weetamoo?" 

That  the  chief  avenue  of  approach  to  the  great  mountain,  lake  and 
river  resorts  of  New  England,  northern  New  York  and  the  Dominion 
of  Canada,  is  over  the  Boston  &  Lowell  Railroad,  its  leased  lines  and 
branches,  has  been  made  apparent  by  the  descriptions  already  given,and

scenic  attractiveness,  there  are  no  lines  of  railway  in  tlie  East  or 
Nortli  tliat  can  fai.  ^  be  called  into  comparison. 

The  train  service  will  be  found  convenient  and  expeditious.  There 
are  frequent  express  trains  between  Boston  and  all  the  hill  country 
lake  regions  and  White  Mountain  points,  and  also  between  Boston 
and  Canada.  These  connect  with  all  the  southern  and  western  boat 
and  railway  lines,  and  with  trains  from  all  interior  points.  The  hours 
of  leaving  and  arrival  are  given  in  the  time-tables  published  elsewhere, 
and  in  the  time-cards  and  folders  to  be  found  at  all  stations  of  this 
road  and  at  all  the  principal  railroad  centres  in  the  country. 

EATING  HOUSES  AND   RESTAURANTS. — BOSTON   STATION. 

Travellers  reaching  Boston  by  the  Sound  steamers  and  early  trains, 
I'eed  not  go  to  a  hotel  for  breakfast,  as  at  the  Boston  &  Lowell  Station 
on  Causeway  Street,  they  will  And  an  excellent  cafe,  Avhere  every  want 
in  the  way  of  substantials  and  delicacies  can  be  found,  and  meals 
served  at  any  hour.  This  caf6  has  long  and  justly  enjoyed  a  high  rep- 
utation. 

NASHUA   JUNCTION. 

In  the  commodious  depot  is  a  first-class  refreshment  room  where  reg- 
ular meals  or  lunches  can  be  obtained,  and  the  latter  will  be  quickly 
put  up  for  the  pac  ■  ing  traveller. 

WHITE   RIVER  JUNCTION. 

The  eating  house  at  this  point,  where  nearly  all  through  trains  stop 
for  meals,  has  long  enjoyed  an  enviable  reputation,  the  cooking  of  the 
viands  being  well-nigh  perfect,  and  the  serving  of  the  most  attentive 
and  thoughtful  description.  Abundant  time  is  allowed  for  meals,  and 
the  signal  for  departure  is  seasonably  given. 

THE   WEIRS,   LAKE   WINNIPESAUKEE. 

This  charmingly  located  cafe,  over  the  waters  of  the  lake,  was  opened

traveller  can  need. 

PEMIGEW ASSET   HOUSE,    PLYMOUTH,    N.  H. 

This  noted  house  spreads  sumptuous  tables  in  the  large  dining  room 
up  stairs,  and  a  long  lunch  counter  in  the  restaurant  opening  from  the 
depot  platform.  Excellent  lunches  will  also  be  here  put  up  for  the 
traveller  to  take  with  him.  So  many  thousand  mountain  tourists  have 
enjoyed  the  elegant  hospitality  of  this  house  that  it  is  superfluous  to 
utter  its  praise. 

At  Lowell,  Concord,  N.H.,  Keene,  Wells  River,  and  Wing  Road,  lunch 
counters  may  also  be  found  where  wholesome  food  can  be  obtained, 
although  not  of  wide  variety.

How  tlie  Boston  and  Lowell  System  Is  Made  Up. 


CHAPTER  III. 

The  Southern  Division,  or  main  line  proper,  extends  from  Boston 
through  Lowell  and  Nashua  to  Keene,  including  the  Boston  and  Lowell, 
the  Nashua  and  Lowell,  the  Wilton,  the  Peterboro',  and  the  Manchester 
and  Keene  railroads.    It  is  at  Nashua  that  th^  southerly  arm  diverges 
from  the  trunk  line,  extending  to  the  rural  towns  of  Amherst,  Milford 
and  Wilton,  and  for  many  miles  following  the  course  of  the  Souhegan 
River,  on  which,  in  Wilton,  there  are  some  wild  gorges  and  tumbling 
cascades.    The  line  then  passes  into  the  mountainous  region  Qf  Lynde- 
boro',  Greenfield  and  Hancock;   affording  to  the  passenger  an  ever- 
changing  panorama  of  river,  pond  t,nd  mountain  scenery.    In  Han- 
cock, tho  Peterboro'  &  Hillsboro'  Railroad  belonging  to  the  North- 
ern Division  of  the  Boston  and  Lowell  system  is  crossed  at  a  right- 
angle.    From  Greenfield,  to  and  beyond  Hancock,  the  road  skirts  the 
northerly  rim  of  a  great  basin  in  which  are  to'vns,  rivers  and  numerous 
ponds,  and  surrounding  which  are,  on  the  east,  the  two  peaks  of 
Peterboro',  or  Pack  Monadnock  and  Tempie  mountains;  on  the  north, 
Crotched,  WiUard,  Bald  and  Whittemore  mountains,  with  long  and 
grand  Monadnock  on  the  southwest.    The  road  winds  in  and  out 
among  high  hills,  along  narrow  gorges,  through  deep  cuts,  across  high 
fills,  over  wide  chasms,  through  Hancock,  Harrisville  and  Marlboro' 
to  Keene,  the  western  terminus  of  tl.is  southern  line,  where  con- 
nection is  made  in  a  union  depot  with  the  Cheshire  Railroad  and 
the  Ashuelot  branch  .of  the  Connecticut  River  Railroad  system.    Along 
this  route  from    Greenfield  through  Hancock   and   Harrisville    the 
line  skirts  numerous  ponds  which   are  the  delight  of  sportsmen; 
and  at  Harrisville  stages  connect  for  Dublin  Village  and  pond,  other- 
wise known  as  Monadnock  Lake,  one  of  the  most  attractive  localities 
in  New  England,  where  there  are  elegant  summer  residences,  and 
which  is  steadily  growing  in  .a  oi  tus  a  resort;  and  where  Manadnock 
Mountain  can  be  studied  in  al'  i^s   -varO  and  m-^ed  majesty.    It  is 
related  that  a  minister  of  thia  icglon  was  once  preaching  on  faith,  and 
spoke  of  that  which  would  remove  mountains ;  when  pausing,  and, 
casting  a  glance  through  the  window  at  the  massive  mountain  of  rocK ' 
he  said  with  a  twinkle  in  his  eye—"  But  it  would  take  a  good  deal  to 
remove  old  Monadnock !" 

THE  CONCORD  AXD  CLAREMONT. 

This  arm  extends  from  Concord  through  West  Concord,  where  the 
New  Hampshire  State  Prison  is  '"cated  in  new  and  excellent  buiJ-^'lngs, 
past  superb  granite  quarries,  to  Contoocook,  Warner,  Bradford,  New-

the  placid  Contoocook  River,  and  on  the  right  and  north  of  the  line 
the  majestic  cone  of  Kcarsarge  is  visible  for 

several  miles.  -'^  Z'-     J 

For  many  years  Bradford  was  the  western  ^ji^i^f!^  I 

terminus  of  this  road.  From  this  point  stages 
convey  passengers  to  tlie  famous  Bradford 
Springs,  noted  for  their  medicinal  qualities.

SUNAPEE   HARBOR. 

The  grade  at  Newbury  is  very  heavy,  and  the  rock-cut  through 
the  mountains  opens  into  the  elevated  basin  in  which  is  the  very 
attractive  Lake  Sunapee.  The  sudden  coming  upon  the  wide  lake,  after 
the  long  cork-screw  climb  up  among  the  high  hills  and  through  the 
frowning  rock-cut,  is  an  agreeable  surprise.  Tne  road  touches  the 
extreme  south  end  of  this  very  lovely  sheet  of  water,  where  is  located 
Newbury  station  and  the  dock  for  the  steamers  which  ply  on  the 
lake,  so  that  tourists  can  walk  directly  from  the  station  to  the  steamer's

gang-plank.  At  the  Landing  is  a  good  boarding-house,  and  near  it, 
and  all  along  the  southern  end  of  the  lake  Avhich  the  railroad  skirts, 
are  some  uncommonly  good  cottage  sites,  while  on  a  charming  point 
the  foundation  is  laid  for  a  large  hotel.  From  here  many  of  the 
islands,  coves,  points  and  bluffs  can  be  scon,  with  many  a  summer  cot- 
tage, and  a  glimpse  can  be  caught  of  the  finely-located  Lakeview 
House  on  the  west  shore.  On  tlie  soutli,  towering  above,  is  Sunapee 
Mountain,  on  tlie  side  of  wliicli,  far  up  and  overlooking  the  whole 
lake,  is  Johnson's  popular  house. 

Newport  is  the  shire  town  of  Sullivan  County,  and  an  attractive  and 
thriving  place.  There  are  two  good  hotels,  the  larger  of  which  is  the 
Newport  House,  and  the  other  the  Pluenix  Hotel,  while  there  are  sev- 
eral good  boarding-houses,  and  in  the  surrounding  region  many  farm- 
houses where  good  summer  board  may  be  had. 

From  Newport  to  Claremont  the  road  follows  the  course  of  the 
Sugar  Kiver  which  receives  the  wi^-ters  of  Lake  Sunapee.  Claremont 
is  a  large  and  f.nely  located  to  vn,  with  many  attractions  for  the 
stranger.  The  Belmont  House  is  a  good  hotel,  and  there  are  boarding 
houses  and  farm  houses  to  which  strangers  will  be  received  at  reason- 
able rates.  The  surrounding  scenery  is  on  a  grand  scale,  Ascutney 
Mountain,  across  the  Connecticut  Eiver,  in  Vermont,  looming  above  in 
its  grandeur  and  overlooking  the  town,  wiiile  to  the  northeast  Green 
and  Bald  mountains  are  only  a  part  of  the  grander  Croydon  Mountain, 
a  prominent  feature  of  the  landscape  a  little  farther  removed.  The 
whole  region  of  Lake  Sunapee,  Newport  and  Claremont  abounds  with 
good  drives  along  the  valleys  or  among  the  hills. 

TIIK   PKTKUHOKO'    AND   IIII.LSBORO'   BHANCH. 

At  Contoocook,  going  west  on  the  Concord  &  Claremont  Branch, 
the  Peterboro'  and  Hillsboro'  Branch  diverges  to  the  south,  extend- 
ing through  Contoocook,  West  Hopkinton,  Henniker,  Hillsboro', 
Antrim,  Bennington,  Hancock  Junction,  (where  the  Keene  Branch  is 
crossed  as  before  noticed,)  to  the  large  and  charming  town  of  Peter- 
boro', which  is  seven  miles  nearer  Boston  by  the  Boston  and  Lowell 
than  by  any  other  route.  The  Contoocook  and  its  tributaries  flow 
through  the  place,  and  excellent  hotels  and  farm-1  >use  boarding  places 
on  breezy  hill  tops,  good  brook  and  ])ond  fishing,  grand  mountain 
scenery  with  uncommonly  pleasant  drives  in  all  directions,  indicate 
its  attractions. 

THE   NOUTHKKN   DIVISION. 

From  Concord  the  northwesterly  arm  of  the  Boston  and  Lowell  is 
the  Northern  Railroad  of  N.  IL,  which  follows  the  valley  of  the  Merri- 
mack as  far  as  Franklin,  and  then  winds  in  and  out  among  hills,  ponds 
and  lakes,  working  up  some  heavy  grades  to  the  Huisunit  at  Canaan, 
having  ascended  778  feet  since  leaving  Concord ;  then  following  the 
water-course  of  the  Mascoma  liiver,  for  miles  skirting  the  fine  lake 
of  the  same  name,  it  proceeds  down  a  steep  grade  from  Enfield  to  West

Lebanon,  where  the  Connecticut  River  is  crossed,  and  connection  made 
at  White  River  Junction  with  the  Central  Vermont  Railroad  and  the 
Passumpsic  Railroad  for  the  North. 

At  Penacook,  seven  miles  northwest  of  Concord,  and  formerly  known 
as  risherville,  the  Contoocook  River  empties  into  the  Merrimack,  and 
at  the  point  of  junction  in  mid-stream  i?  Dustin's  island,  on  which 
stands  a  granite  monument  to  Hannah  (Emerson)  Dustin,  who  was 
captured  by  the  Indians  on  the  15th  of  March,  1G97,  at  Haverhill, 
Mass.,  together  with  a  six  weeks'  old  infant  and  its  nurse,  Mary  Niflf. 
The  child  was  killed,  but  the  two  women  were  brought  by  a  weary 
march  to  a  wigwam  on  this  island  and  left  in  charge  of  two  men,  three 
women  and  seven  Indian  children,  where  they  also  found  Samuel 
Lannardson,  a  boy  captured  from  Worcester.  Mrs.  Dustin  planned  an 
escape,  and  on  the  early  morning  of  March  31,  1G97,  awoke  her  com- 
panions, and,  with  the  Indians'  own  tomahawks  dispatched  both  the 
men  instantly  and  one  woman ;  the  other  woman  and  one  Indian  boy 
only  escaping.  Taking  the  scalps  as  proof,  they  scuttled  all  the  canoes 
but  one,  and  then  embarked  on  the  then  high  and  turbulent  Merrimack 
for  Haverhill,  which  they  safely  reached  in  a  few  days.  She  at  once 
became  a  great  heroine,  and,  being  called  to  Boston,  the  General  Court 
thanked  her  and  made  her  a  grant  of  £50. 

Fifty  years  afterwa  Is  the  white  settlers  of  this  region  were  as- 
sailed by  the  savages,  and  some  killed  and  others  carried  captive  to 
Canada.  Now  the  descendants  of  some  of  those  foraging  Canadian 
Indians  descend  again  on  the  peaceful  valleys,  but  in  these  days  for 
peaceful  purposes,  and  are  found  as  operatives  in  the  numerous  fac- 
tories which  line  the  noble  Merrimack  stream. 

Boscawen  was  originally  named  Contoocook,  but  in  1760  given  its 
present  name  from  Lord  Boscawen  of  the  English  navy.  In  18G0  it  was 
divided,  and  part  took  the  name  of  Webster.  The  old  town  is  the  birth- 
place of  General  Dix,  Pitt  Fesscnden  and  Charles  G.  Greene ;  the  home  of 
Ezekiel  Webster ;  and  his  great  brother  Daniel  had  a  law  office  here. 
Boscawen  Plain  has  a  wide  street  two  miles  long,  on  which  are  some  fine 
residences.  At  North  Boscawen  the  brick  buildings  of  the  Merrimack 
County  poor-farm  may  be  seen,  and  the  burying  ground  witli  its  white 
head-boards,  near  tlie  track.  From  here  there  is  a  stage  connection  with 
Salisbury,  four  miles  distant,  wliere  Daniel  Webster  was  born,  under 

•'  A  roof  beneath  the  mountain  pines." 
At  Webster  Place,  the  farm  and  home  of  Daniel  Webster  is  seen  on 
the  right  of  the  track.  Tlie  old  homestead  and  other  buildings  are 
now  used  as  the  New  Hampshire  Orphan  Asvlum,  and  the  happy  faces 
of  many  children  may  fre(iuently  be  seen  as  the  train  passes.  It  Avas 
under  the  elms  near  by  that  the  great  statesman  loved  Uy  linger  in 
summer  and  rest  from  the  care^^  '•.!"  puh'.i!'  lifo. 

' '  In  vain  the  envious  tongue  upbraids ; 

His  name  a  nation's  heart  fhall  keep 
Till  morning's  latest  sunlight  fades 

On  the  blue  tablet  of  the  deep." 


2.S 

In  this  intervale  there  was  a  fort,  in  the  early  settlement,  and  here,  in  the 
French  and  Indian  war,  Colonel  Goft"s  regiment  spent  the  winter,  and 
was  drilled  and  then  marched  overland  to  CroAvn  Point.  Up  over  the 
hill,  eastward,  it  is  only  abont  two  miles  to  Webster's  birthplace,  then 
in  Salisbury,  but  now  included  in  the  town  of  Franklin. 

At  Franklin,  a  large  and  thriving  town,  the  Pemigewasset  and  Win- 
nipesaukee  rivers  unite  to  form  the  Merrimack,  from  whence  some 
say  is  its  name,  signi  ing  in  the  Algonquin  tongue,  "the  meeting 
of  the  waters."  Other  suggestive  derivations  of  the  name  Merrimack 
have  been  given  before.  These  streams  furnish  power  for  numerous 
large  manufactories. 

From  here  the  Bristol  Branch  diverges,  running  to  Bristol,  a  thrifty 
manufacturing  place  thirteen  miles  distant,  on  the  shores  of  Newfound 
Lake,  which  is  mountain-environed,  full  of  flsh,  and  popular  with 
summer  campers  and  farm-houses  boarders. 


WEBSTER  LAKE. 

Just  beyond  Franklin  tlie  road  skirts 
the  banks  of  Webster  Lake,  one  of  the 
many  sheets  of  water  to  be  seen  on  this 
line,  and  one  of  the  most  attractive.  It 
has  pleasant  camp  grounds  near  the  rail-

Canaan  is  a  country  town;  the  centre,  some  two  miles  north,  having 
a  very  wide  and  tree-shaded  main  street. 

Enfield  has  several  families  of  Shakers ;  and  from  near  the  station  a 
small  steamer  may  be  taken  to  cross  Lake  Mascoma,  on  the  west  side 
of  which  is  the  principal  Sliaker  settlement.  The  railroad  skirts  this 
lake  for  several  miles.  From  East  Lebanon  the  descent  along  the 
banks  of  the  Mascoma  is  great,  and  the  track  crosses  the  foaming 
fetream  fourteen  times,  through  covered  bridges,  in  tlie  distance  of  six 
miles,  making  a  fast  express  alm.ost  seem  a  game  of  "  hide  and  seek." 

Lebanon  is  a  flourishing  place  of  many  attractions  for  the  summer, 
while  at  West  Lebanon  is  located  the  excellent  Tilden  Female  Seminary. 

THK  WIIITK  MOUNTAINS  DIVISION. 

The  old,  reliable  and  attractive  route  to  Winnipesaukee,  Memphre- 
magog  and  Connecticut  lakes,  and  the  Franconia  and  White  moun- 
tains, is  over  tliis  division  of  the  Boston  and  Lowell  line,  formerly 
and  favorably  known  as  the  Boston,  Concord,  Montreal  &  White  Moun- 
tains Railroad,  which  extends  along  the  shores  of  Lake  Winnipesaukee, 
and  through  the  western  range  of  tlie  White  Mountain  group,  and, 
farrier  north,  runs  through  the  Ammonoosuc  and  Connecticut  valleys ;  an 
important  spur  penetrating  the  very  heart  of  the  mountain  region  at 
Fabyan's,  while  branches  and  connecting  lines  reach  the  Pemigewasset 
Valley  the  Profile  House,  Bethlehem,  Jefferson,  the  summit  of  Mount 
Washington,  and  the  northern  regions  of  Kew  Hampshire,  Vermont, 
Canada  and  Maine. 

Just  above  Concord,  the  train  crosses  tlie  Merrimack  Eiver  for  the 
last  time.    Near  this  point  a  fine  view  is  had  of  Mount  Kearsarge ,  winch 
is  about  a  dozen  miles  distant.    Tilton,  -.  charming  town  eighteen  miles 
from  Concord,  is  the  first  place  of  importance  above  the  State  capital, 
and  Laronia  and  Lake  Village  are  next  in  order.    The  mountains  have 
already  become  prominent  features  of  the  landscape,  being  first  seen 
across  several  bodies  of  water,  along  the  shores  of  which  the  railroad 
runs,  near  and  above  East  Tilton.    At  the  Weirs  the  beautiful  Lalce 
Winnipesaukee  is  readied.    Here  a  delightful  summer  resort  has  sprung 
into  being  within  tlic  past  few  years.    Li  addition  to  a  great  number 
of  handsome  cottages,  for  the  most  part  cosily  situated  in  tlie  groves, 
there  are  tliree  capacious  hotels,  vi/..,tlie  Hotel  Weirs,  tlie  Lakeside 
House  and  the  Wimiecoette  House.     Several  large  summer  meetings 
are  held  here  every  year,  and  one  of  the  groves  is  the  property  of  the 
New  Hampshire  Veterans'   Association.    The    steamboat  "Lady  of 
the  Lake"  comiects  herewith  north-bound  and  south-bound  exi)ress 
trains  conveying  passeuiiers  to  and  from  Centre  Harbor  and  Wolfboro'. 
Korth' of  ihe' Weirs,  and  on  an  arm  of  the  lake,  lies  Meredith,  and  next 
above,  Asliiand.    After  passing  these  two  places,  the  train  approaches 
1  lymouth.    The  ti'aveller  is  K.m  fairly  within  the  gateway  <  i  the  moun- 
tain re-ion.     The  JViuigewasset  Valley  here  broadens  into  a  beautiful 
Intervale,  environed  by  mountains  of  less  elevation  than  those  farther 


30 

north,  but  still  bold  and  picturesque.  The  Pemigewasset  House,  one 
of  the  famous  summer  resorts  of  the  mountain  region,  is  situated  in  the 
heart  of  the  pretty  village ;  and  all  the  day  trains  stop  here  for  meals. 

If  the  traveller  is  going  direct  to  the  Twin  Mountain,  Fabyan  or 
Crawford  houses,  to  Littleton,  Franconia,  Jefferson,  Bethlehem  Junc- 
tion (thence,  by  narrow  guage  railroad,  to  Maple  wood,  Bethlehem  or 
Profile  House),  or  to  any  other  of  the  delightful  summer  retreats  of 
northern  New  Hampshire,  to  the  top  of  Mount  Washington,  to  the  lakes 
and  mountains  of  Vermont,  to  the  hunting  and  fishing  regions  of  Maine, 
or  of  Canada,  he  continues  on  tlie  main  line  of  the  White  Mountains 
Division  of  the  Boston  &  Lowell  Railroad,  above  Plymouth.  If  he  is 
journeying  to  the  Profile  House,  or  to  any  of  the  numerous  summer  hotels 
and  boarding  houses  of  Campton,  Thornton,  Woodstoclc  or  Watenille, 
he  leaves  the  main  line  at  Plymouth,  and  proceeds  through  the  beauti- 
ful Pemigewasset  Valley,  directly  north,  over  the  PemigeAvasset  Valley 
Branch,  which  closely  follows  the  bank  of 

"  The  winding  Pemigewasset,  overhung 

By  htechen  ehadows,  whitening  down  its  rocki. 

Or  lazily  gliding  through  its  intervals, 

From  waving  rye-fields  sending  up  the  gleam 

Of  sunlit  waters." 

After  leaving  Plymouth  and  the  Pemigewasset  River,  the  traveller 
on  the  main  line  ascends  the  valley  of  Baker's  River,  tlirough  Rumney, 
Wentworth  and  Warren,  and  in  the  latter  town  crosses  the  ridge  divid- 
ing tlie  water  system  of  the  Merrimack  from  that  of  the  Connecticut. 
The  -cenery  througli  these  several  towns  is  bold  and  picturesque ;  the 
region  being  mountainous  wltli  numerous  small  streams.    In  the  town 
of  Haverhill  the  railroad  runs  for  some  distance  along  an  elevated 
plateau  upon  the  east  side  of  the  Connecticut  River ;  and  the  views 
caught  by  the  passenger,  as  tlie  train  Aviiids  in  and  out  of  the  little 
patclies  of  woodland,  are  often  very  cliarming.    Vermont  lies  upon  the 
opposite  side  of  tlie  river,  and  the  foot-hills  of  the  Green  Mountains 
rise  beyond  the  valley.    At  Woodsville  and  Wells  River,  tlie  former 
being  upon  the  New  Hampshire  side,  and  tlie  latter  upon  the  Vermont 
side  of  the  river,  connection  is  made  Avith  tlie  Passumpsic  Railroad 
and  with  the  Montpelier  &  Wells  River  Railroad.     Tlie  former,  and 
that  portion  of  the  Boston  &  LoavcU  Railroad  lying  below  this  point, 
form  important  links  in  the  Montreal  &  Boston  Air  Lino,  of  which  the 
South  Eastern  Railway  of  Canada  is  also  a  part.    At  Wells  River,  also, 
the  direct  New  York  and  Saratoga  express  trains  enter  upon  this  divi- 
sion of  the  ]i(»stou  &  Lowell  Railroad. 

At  Woodsville  the  traveller  who  is  on  his  way  to  the  mountains  leaves 
the  Connecticut  River  behind  him,  and  journe.vs  along  the  Aiumonoosuc 
Elver,  a  swift  mountain  stream  which  has  its  source  in  the  Lake  of 
the  Clouds,  iive  Ihousand  feet  high,  in  the  Presidential  Ranj;e.  The 
river  is  several  times  crossed  in  the  course  of  the  ride  through  Bath, 
Lisbon,  Littleton,  Bethlehem  and  Carroll.    At  Wing  Road  station  the 


J!L»

mountain  trains  leave  the  main  line,  and  ascend  the  Mount  Washington 
Branch.  Bethlehem  Junction  is  the  point  of  departure  for  Maplewood 
and  the  Bethlehem  hotels  and  boarding  houses,  and  for  the  Profile 
House.  A  narrow-gauge  railway  extends  to  both  Bethlehem  village 
and  to  Tranconia  Notch.  Beyond  Bethlehem  there  are  no  villages, 
and  only  the  large  hotels  give  local  designations  to  the  railroad  stations. 
Thus  the  Twin  Mountain,  White  Mountain,  Fabyan  and  Mount  Pleasant 
houses  form  the  central  points,  or  stations.  The  Crawford  House  is  four 
miles  beyond  the  Fabyan,  on  the  line  of  tlie  Portland  &  Ogdensburg  Rail- 
road. The  very  heart  of  tlie  mountain  region  has  been  reached  at 
Fabyan's ;  and  the  visitor  looks  out  upon  the  giant  wall  of  the  Presi- 
dential Kange,  all  the  summits  of  which  are  within  from  four  to  ten 
miles  distant.  The  Mount  Washington  Branch  extends  beyond  Fabyan's 
and  Mt.  Pleasant  to  a  junction  with  the  Mount  Washington  Railway, 
by  which  the  traveller  ascends  by  a  steep  incline  to  he  summit; 
but  the  Mt.  Pleasant  House  is  the  terminal  point  of  all  express  trains. 

The  main  line  of  the  White  Mountains  Division  of  the  Boston  and 
Lowell  line  extends  above  Wing  Road  station,  through  the  towns  of 
Whitefleld,  Dalton  and  Lancaster,  to  Groveton,  at  which  latter  point 
it  connects  with  the  Gi-and  Trunk  Railway.  The  Whitefleld  & 
Jefferson  Railroad,  which  affords  direct  and  easy  means  of  communica- 
tion with  the  hotels  and  boarding  houses  of  Jefferson,  diverges  from 
the  main  line  at  Wliitefleld.  Northward  from  (iroveton,  the  traveller 
may  proceed  by  the  Grand  Trunk  Railway  to  North  Stratford  and 
Brunswick  Springs,  or,  via  North  Stratford  and  Colebrook,  toDixville 
Notch  or  Connecticut  Lakes,  or  through  the  Notch  to  Lake  Urabagog 
and  the  Rangeley  Lakes,  the  great  fishing  and  hunting  section  of  North- 
western Maine. 

TIIK   CIIERKY  MOUNTAIN  SLIDE. 

On  the  north  side  of  Clierry  Mountain,  facing  the  Jett'erson  hotels, 
occurred  the  noted  landslide  of  July  10,  1885.  This  mountain  is  on 
tlie  south  side  of  the  Whitefleld  &  Jefterson  Railroad,  and  lies  between 
Jefferson  and  Fabyan's,  from  both  of  which  places  its  summit  can  be 
seen,  and  it  can  bo  reached  by  carriage  road  from  both  places.  There 
is  also  a  station  on  tlie  railroad  at  the  point  nearest  the  place.  It  was 
the  largest  slide  ever  known  in  the  mountains,  although  not  fatal  as 
the  Willey  avalanche  in  tlie  White  Mountain,  or  Cr  iwford.  Notch  in 
182G,  when  a  whole  family  perished.  In  this  Cherry  Mountain  dis- 
aster, one  man,  wlio  was  milking  in  his  barn,  was  cauglit  and  held  in 
the  ruins,  l)iit  afterwards  extricated  alive.  A  man  and  some  boys,  who 
were  building  a  house,  on  hearing  the  roar,  jumped  through  the  win- 
dows, and,  running  across  the  road,  escaped,  while  tlie  house  fell. 
The  slide  was  owing  to  great  rains,  which  swelled  the  streams  and 
soaked  the  crust  of  the  eartli,  when  a  portion  of  the  mountain  side, 
about  25  rods  wide,  50  feet  deep  and  two  miles  long,  slid  down  into 
the  meadow  at  tlic  base,  wliere  it  spread  itself  out  over  20  acres.  Its 
sides  >vere  cut  as  clean  as  tliough  dug  with  a  steam-shovel,  while  two

"West  of  St.  Jolmsbury  the  line  ascends  to  a  table-land,  from  the 
summit  of  which  there  are  flue  views  of  the  White  Mountains  and  the 
nearer  Connecticut  vallcj',  wliile  it  skirts  the  shores  of  Joe's  Pond  for 
several  miles.  From  Walden  the  descent  is  so  great  into  the  valley 
■where  the  line  reaches  tiie  head-waters  of  the  La-Moille  (usually 
written  Lamoille)  that  a  remarkable  curve  is  made  along  two  sides  and 
around  one  end  of  a  long  narrow  valley.  At  one  point  the  line  in  Wal- 
den is  240  feet  above  its  level  in  Hardwick,  which  is  plainly  in  view 
below,  only  a  mile  across  the  valley,  while  around  by  the  railroad,  pass- 
ing Greeuboro'  at  the  upper  end  of  the  valley,  it  is  a  distance  of  six 
miles,  making  it  onf  of  the  most  noted  railroad  curves  in  New  Eng- 
land. Walden  summit  is  1,180  feet  above  the  sea,  and  from  this  point 
westward  there  is  a  fine  view  of  the  Green  Mountains.  From  Greens- 
boro' to  Cambridge  the  line  follows  the  Lamoille  River  valley,  which 
has  a  peculiar  rural  beauty.  High  mountains  shut  it  in  on  either  side, 
and  along  the  river  are  some  of  the  richest  farms  of  Vermont. 

Morrisville  is  a  flourishing  place,  where  stages  connect  for  and  from 
Stowe,  the  point  of  departure  for  Mt.  Mansfleld.  At  Cambridge  Junc- 
tion the  Burlington  tS;  Lamoille  Railroad  diverges  to  Burlington ;  and 
from  here  to  Sheldon  Springs  the  line  crosses  the  water-shed  between 
the  Lamoille  and  the  Missisquoi  rivers,  the  valley  of  the  latter  being 
followed  to  Swanton.  In  East  Highgate  and  Ilighgato  there  are  fine 
views  to  the  southward  across  a  wide  valley  cut  by  numerous  ravines, 
Avith  St.  Albans  in  the  distance  having  two  mountains  for  a  back- 
ground, Avliile  through  the  centre  of  the  valley  the  gleaming  water  of 
the  Missisquoi  is  seen. 

At  East  Swanton  the  Montreal  line  of  the  Central  Vermont  R.R.  is 
crossed,  and  at  Swanton  junction  is  made  with  the  Rouse's  Point  line 
of  the  same  road.  From  here  it  is  only  two  miles  to  Maquam  Bay, 
where,  near  the  steamer  dock,  is  the  Hotel  Champlain,  an  attractive 
place  in  summer.  Tlie  drives  southward  to  Hathaway's  Point,  seven 
miles  distant,  and  to  St.  Albans  bay  beyond,  are  very  pleasant  ones. 

Between  St.  Jolmsbury  and  Lunenburg  this  Division  forms  a  por- 
tion of  tho  Montreiil  &  Portland  line,  over  wliich  through  trains,  with 
flue  parlor  cars,  make  the  most  popular  and  comfortable  means  of 
transit  between  the  two  cities  giving  their  names  to  the  line. 

The  IMontreal  &  Portland  line  passes  out  of  Montreal  (Bonaventure 
Street  Station)  by  way  of  the  Victoria  Bridge  and  South  Eastern  R'y 
to  Newport;  thence  over  the  Passumpsic  R.R.  to  St.  Jolmsbury; 
thence  by  the  Vermont  Division  of  the  Boston  &  Lowell  to  Fabyan's ; 
thence  by  the  Portland  &  Ogdensburg  R.R.  to  Portland.  It  will  be 
seen  that  the  route  lies  through  a  most  picturesque  territory,  including 
the  heart  of  the  White  Mountains  region  and  the  Avonderful  Crawford 
Notch ;  and  reference  to  the  time-tabk  of  tiie  Hue,  given  elsewhere,

CHAPTER  IV. 

The  Sound  lines  of  passenger  steamers  from  New  York  afford  a  very 
delightful  means  of  transit  to  the  East  and  towards  tho  White  Moun- 
tains. The  boats  leave  New  York  at  a  convenient  afternoon  hour,  pass 
up  East  River,  and  out  into  the  broad  waters  of  Long  Island  before 
nightfall,  and  in  the  morning  connect  with  north-bound  trains.  A 
night's  rest  on  the  boat  is  thus  gained. 

THE  FAJLh  RIVER  LINE. 

The  fleet  of  this  line  comprises  the  palatial  steamers  "  Pilgrim  " 
"Old  Colony,"  "Bristol"  and  "  Providence,"  and  commencing  about 
June  28th,  a  double  daily  service  will  be  arranged  as  follows,  from 
Pier  5>8,  North  River,  New  York  :-an  express  steamer  will  leave  at 
5.30  P.M.,  week-days  and  Sundays,  for  Pall  River  direct,  arriving  at 
o.OO  A.M.;  a  second  steamer  will  leave  at  6.15  p.m.,  week-days  only 
touching  at  Newport,  and  arriving  at  Fall  River  at  7.00  a.m.     On  each 
steamer  choice  orchestral  concerts  are  given  daring    the  evening 
Annex  steamers  run  from  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  Pier,  Jersey  City 
and  from  the  Fulton  Ferry  Slip,  Brooklyn,  in  connection  with  these 
steamers.     An  express  train  leaves  Fall  River  at  7.30  a.m.,  for  the 
W,  ite  Mountains  direct,  passing  over  the  northern  division  of  the  Old 
Colony  Railroad,  via  Taunton,   Mansfield,  Framingham  and  Lowell 
Breakfast  may  be  had  on  board  the  boat  before  starting,  and  drawing- 
room  cars  convey  passengers  from  this  point  to  the  Fabyan  House 
without  change.       Should   the  route  via  Boston  be  preferred    the 
passenger  will  leave  Fall  River  by  express  train  at  about  5.20  a  m  and 
arrive  in  Boston  at  about  6.50  a.m.,  in  season  for  transfer  to  and  break- 
fast at  the  station  of  the  Boston  &  Lowell  Railroad,  from  which  the 
White  Mountains  express,  with  parlor  cars,  leaves  at  9.30  a.m.     South- 
bound passengers  take  the  White  Mountains  morning  express,  raakin- 
sure  connections  with  the  boat,  either  via  Lowell,  Framingham  and 
Taunton,  or  via  Boston.     Staterooms  may  be  secured  of  tlie  drawing- 
room  car  coiidnctor,  and  baggage  may  be  checked  through  to  all  points 
in  either  direction. 

THE  8T0NIXGT0X  LINE. 

The  steamers  "  Stonington"  and  "  Narragansett,"  of  the  Stonington 
Line,  leave  Pier  No.  33,  North  River,  New  York,  at  6  p.m.  every  day 
except  Sundays.  Train  leaves  Stonington  at  4.15  a.m.  Passengers 
have  thirty  minutes  for  breakfast  at  Providence,  dine  at  Plymouth  and 
arrive  at  Fabyan's,  early  in  the  afternoon.  Returning,  a  parlor  car 
leaves  Fabyan's  at  9.30  a.m.,  and  runs  through  to  Providence,  connect-

Baggage   will  be  checked  through  to  all 


Ing  there  with  steamboat  express  train  for  Stonington;  arriving  in

AMIIKIiST,    N.H.,   AXD   iMILFORD   SPRINGS. 

Amherst  is  a  pleasant  rural  town,  forty-eight  miles  from  Boston  on 
the  Keene  Branch,  which  of  itself  has  many  attractions  for  summer 
residents  desiring  the  quiet  life  of  the  farm  house,  but  is  specially  im- 
portant as  the  railroad  station  for  the  celebrated  Hotel  Ponemah,  at 
Milford  Springs. 


HOTEt  rONEMAH. 

Hotel  ronemah  is  about  two  miles  south  of  Amherst  station,  which 
is  its  post-omcc.  A  stage-ride  over  a  pleasant  and  good  country  road 
brings  one  to  its  beautiful  location  on  a  hill-top  commanding  a  moun- 
tain and  valley  prospect  of  great  beauty.  Tlie  hill-sides  and  the  vale 
near  by  are  covered  with  a  forest  in  which  are  some  mammoth  chest- 
nuts. Tliis  whole  surface  is  full  of  springs,  equally  abundant  in  flow 
but  of  very  different  properties.  The  old  Milford  Springs  House  is 
near  by,  reminding  one  of  tlio  old-time  taverns  of  New  England.  In 
its  basement  is  tlie  curb  of  the  original  spring  which  gave  celebrity  to 
this  place.    A  tradition  connects  its  discovery  with  the  dream  of  a 


61 

dying  boy,  which  many  people  faithfully  accept;  however  that  maybe, 
there  is  no  doubt  that  many  persons  have  experienced  beneficial  effects 
from  using  the  Avaters.  In  one  spring  magnesia  predominates ;  in 
another,  iron;  in  a  third,  called  "The  Ponemah  Spring,"  silica,  oxide 
of  iron,  sulphate  of  soda,  sulphate  of  potash,  chloride  of  sodium,  and 
magnesia.  In  the  iron  spring  there  is  a  large  quantity  of  free  carbonic 
acid  gas. 

The  hotel  is  new,  supplied  with  all  modern  conveniencss,  and 
managed  by  Messrs.  Barnes  &  Dunklec  of  the  Hotel  Brunswick  of 
Boston,  a  sufficient  guarantee  of  first-class  service.  To  the  west  there 
is  an  elevation  overlooking  the  hill  on  which  the  hotel  stands,  called 
Mount  Pisgah,  GOO  feet  high,  from  which  a  wide  view  of  the  country 
can  be  had,  with  the  grand  Temple  range  of  mountains  on  the  west, 
consisting  of  Pack-Monadnock,  Temple,  Kidder  and  other  peaks,  while 
between  and  over  them  the  grander  summit  of  Monadnock  is  seen  on  a 
clear  day.  From  the  top  of  the  hotel  a  wide  expanse  of  the  Souhegan 
valley  is  seen,  and  beyond  to  the  north  Mount  Vernon,  and  still  further 
in  that  direction,  three  mountain  peaks  which  challenge  the  beholder's 
attention.  That  to  the  left  is  Joe  English  mountain,  in  New  Boston, 
and  the  other  two.  The  Un-ca-noo-nucks,  "  a  corruption  of  the  Indian 
Wunminnoogunash,  the  plural  of  W2mnunnoognn  (a  breast),  osh  being 
added  to  the  singular  to  form  the  plural  of  inanimate  nouns."    The 


aptness  of  the  name  will  be  seen  at  a  glance, 
town  and  near  Manchester. 


These  latter  are  in  Goffs- 


"  Grecn-tuftod,  oak-shadod,  by  Amoskoiig's  fall, 
Thy  twill  Uucanoonucks  rose  stately  and  tall." 

When  old  Pascagora,  the  Indian  sage,  had  his  dying  vision,  the 
braves  of  his  Namaoskoag  tribe  were  on  these  hills  :— 

•'  For  all  the  warriors  were  away, 
Before  the  sun  had  brought  the  day 
To  Uncanoonucks'  southern  side, 
To  eit  in  council  for  the  tribe." 

The  Hotel  Ponemah  is  so  situated  that  every  room  receives  sunlight 
at  some  hour  of  the  day ;  and  the  outbuildings  and  stal)los  are  so  far 
remoAcd  that  there  is  an  absence  of  flies.  In  the  summer  season  a  fast 
express  train  conveys  passengers  to  Boston  in  an  hour  and  a  quarter, 
arriving  there  at  9.20  a.m.,  making  only  three  stops  on  the  way;  and 
the  return  is  as  speedy,  leaving  Boston  at  5.00  p.m. 

RIILrOUD   AND   MOUNT   VEllNON. 

Mllfnrd   is   a  quiet  but  i-lcasanfc  country  town,  two  miles  beyond 
Amherst,   Avith   many  desirable   farm-house   boarding  places.      The 
village  is  an  attractive  and  thrifty  one,  in  which,  on  a  high  bluff  over- 
looking the  Souhegan  River,  there  Is  a  noble  old  mansion  of  many 


62 

corners  gables  and  bay  windows,  known  as  the  Endicott  House  in 
which  boarders  are  received  in  the  summer.  It  is  an  attractive  pl'ace 
for  those  wlio  enjoy  summer  life  in  a  country  village.  Milford  is  also 
the  ra.  road  station  for  Mount  Vernon,  which  is  reached  by  a  pleasant 
stage  rule  of  four  miles.     Mt.  Vernon  is  a  fair  sample  of  the  retfred  and

This  town  and  surrounding  region  has  long  been  a  favorite  resort  of 
summer  boarders  and,  now  that  the  Boston  &  Lowell  I^ailroad  supplies 
facilities  for  reaching  it  at  convenient  hours,  will  attract  still  lareJ

it  then  belonged,  built  a  block-house  and  supplied  a  guard  of  twenty 
men.  John  Ritcliie  was  the  first  male  child  born  in  the  town,  February 
22,  1759,  and  died  in  the  cause  of  freedom  at  Cambridge,  during  the 
siege  of  Boston,  in  1776,  In  1760  the  place  was  incorporated,  and,  like 
so  many  other  New  Hampshire  towns,  named  for  an  English  nobleman, 
Charles  Mordant,  Earl  of  Peterborough,  the  brilliant  leader  of  the  Brit- 
tish  army  in  the  war  of  the  Spanish  succession.  The  Nubanusit  and 
Contoocook  rivers  unite  in  the  centre  village  and  then  flow  north. 
The  valley  and  surrounding  hills  are  very  beautiful.  Within  recent 
years  some  of  the  old  farms  have  been  purchased  by  those  who  have 
greatly  improved  them,  and  some  of  the  great,  old  farm  houses  have 
been  enlarged  and  quaintly  adorned. 

Tucker's  Hotel,  in  the  village,  is  an  excellent  house  at  any  season  of 
the  year,  while  there  are  many  farm  houses  where  good  board  can  be 
had  in  the  summer.  From  the  sightly  locations  all  the  surrounding 
mountains  are  in  full  view,  which  led  the  philosopher-poet,  above  quo- 
ted, to  exclaim : 

"  ♦  Happy,'  I  said,  *  wt  ose  home  is  here  1 
Fair  fortunes  to  the  mountaineer ! 
Booh  Nature  to  his  poorest  shed 
Has  royal  pleasure-grounds  outspread.' " 

The  drives  are  one  of  the  great  features  of  the  town ;  they  may  be 
along  valley  roads  or  over  long  hills,  by  the  shaded  river-side,  or  along 
the  .aargin  of  ponds.  Cunningham  Pond,  in  the  easterly  part  of  the 
town,  under  frowning  Peterboro'  (or  "Pack  Monadnock")  Mountain, 
is  a  favorite  place  for  fishing  and  sailing  parties,  while  great  berry- 
pastures  lie  beyond. 

There  are  numerous  manufactories.  Including  a  large  shoe  shop,  n°ar 
the  railroad  station.  There  are  five  churches,  a  national  bank,  and  a 
public  library.  No  one  will  make  a  mistake  who  locates  himself  or 
family  here  for  a  short  or  long  stay.  The  Boston  and  Lowell  summer 
trains  are  so  arranged  that  one  may  leave  here  in  the  morning,  have 
several  hours  in  Boston  in  the  middle  of  the  day,  and  return  before 
dark,  which  makes  this  region  a  desirable  one  for  the  families  of  busi- 
ness men. 

DUBLIN. 

Tliis  noted  place  of  summer  residence  is  reached  via  the  Harrisville 
station  of  the  Keene  Branch  of  the  Boston  &  Lowell  Railroad.  It 
is  on  the  water-shed  between  the  Merrimack  and  Connecticut  rivers, 
and  contains  beautiful  Dublin  Pond,  over  Avhich,  on  the  south,  towers 
Monadnock,  of  which  Ralph  Waldo  Emerson  has  written, 

"  I  turned  to  Cheshire's  haughty  hill 

******** 

On  the  Huminit  aa  I  stood, 
O'er  the  floor  of  plain  and  flood 
Seemed  to  me,  the  towering  hill 
Was  not  altogether  still, 
But  a  quiet  sense  conveyed ; 
If  I  err  not,  thus  it  said :—

DUBLIN  F(J>D. 


n.-. 

'Ever;  morn  I  lift  my  head, 

8co  New  England  under  spread, 

South  from  Saint  Lawrence  to  the  Sound, 

From  KatBkill  east  to  the  sea-bound. 

Anchored  fast  for  many  an  age 

I  aw-.it  the  bard  and  wage 

Who,  in  large  thoughts,  like  fair  pearl-seed, 

Shall  string  Monadnock  like  a  bead.'" 

From  the  elegant  mansions  on  the  margin  of  the  pond,  the  comfort- 
able farm  houses,  the  bosom  of  tlie  mountain  lalcelet,  or  from  among 
the  al)un(lantbhieberiy  bushes  wliich  skirt  it,  "  Clieshire's  hauglity  liill" 
can  be  seen  in  all  his  naked  and  massive  grandeur.  Perhaps  there  is 
not  another  mountain  of  its  size  in  New  England  which  is  so  bare ; 
the  whole  upper  portion  is  a  ledge,  and  it  stands  out  very  clear  against 
the  sky.  The  view  from  its  summit  is  extensive  and  pleasing;  the 
climb  up  its  sides  not  severe,  but  calling  for  good  exertion.  Whetlier 
Emerson  spoke  "of  himself  or  of  some  other  man"  is  not  known, 
when  he  vividly  said  of  climl)ing  Monadnock — 

"  Pants  up  hither  the  spruce  clerk 
From  South  Cove  and  City  wharf, 
I  take  him  up  my  rugged  sides 
Half-repentant,  scant  of  breath, — 
Bead-eyes  my  granite  chaos  show, 
And  my  midsummer  snow; 

I  scowl  on  him  wiih  my  cloud, 
"With  my  north-wind  chill  his  blood; 
I  lame  him,  clattering  down  the  rocks; 
And  to  live  he  is  in  fear. 
When,  at  last,  I  let  him  down 
Once  mora  into  his  dapper  town, 
To  chatter,  frightened,  to  his  clan. 
And  forget  me  if  he  can.  " 

No  one  will  l)e  disappointed  who  makes  a  summer  stay  on  the  shores 
of  Dublin  Pond,  or  in  any  of  the  other  localities  in  the  vicinity  of 
Monadnock,  such  as  Marlboro',  Hancock  or  Peterboro'. 

NEWPonr,  N.  II. 
This  is  a  favorite  name  for  attractive  summer  resorts.  If  this  New 
Hampshire  town  may  not  boast  of  such  features  as  tliose  places  of 
similar  name  in  Rhode  Island  and  Vermont,  it  may  yet  present  substan- 
tial attractions  of  its  own.  For  many  years  it  has  drawn  large  num- 
bers of  summer  sojourners.  It  is  the  only  shire  town  of  Sullivan 
County,  is  on  tlie  line  of  the  Concord  &  Claremont  Branch  of  the  Boston 
&  Lowell  Railroad,  has  a  wide  main  street,  a  large  common,  excellent 
public  buildings,  Ave  churches,  numerous  stores,  factories,  and  two  ho- 
tels. The  village  is  pleasantly  situated  on  sloping  liills,  between  whifh 
flows  Sugar  River,  tlie  outlet  of  Lake  Sunapee,  only  flvemilo'^  distant. 
Surrounding  it  are  numerous  mountains,  Bald,  Coit,  Blueberry  Ledge 
and  East  mountains,  while  Croydon  and  Sunapee  are  only  a  little  farther 
removed.     Some  of  tlie  finest  maple-sugar  orchards  in  the  State  are 


66 

found  in  this  town,  and  about  one  mile  soutli  of  tlie  village  i^  an  apple 
tree  Avliich,  over  a  liundred  years  asao,  was  brought  from  Connecticut. 
Elephant  Rock,  three  miles  distant,  is  a  natural  curiosity  to  which 
many  parties  drive ;  through  the  valley  of  Sugar  River  to  Sunapee  Har- 
bor is  tlie  Sunapoe  Lake  road.  Good  teams  can  be  liad  at  very  reason- 
able rates,  and  many  families  who  board  at  farm-houses  extract  much 
pleasure  from  the  use  of  the  farm  wagon  and  old,  steady  horse; 
mothers,  nurses  and  children  themselves  drivin:.,  without  fear,  through 
the  charming  valley  and  over  the  pleasant  hill,  the  roads  and  sights  o. 
which  will  remind  one  of  Whittier's  lines  : —  ^ 

"  We  held  on  sideling  way  above 

The  river's  -whitening  sliallowB, 
By  homesteads  old,  with  wide-flung  barns 

Swept  through  and  through  by  swallowB. 

By  maple  orchards,  belts  of  pines 

And  larches  climbing  darkly 
The  mountain  slopes,  and,  over  all, 

The  great  peaks  rising  starkly. 
****** 

We  paused  at  last  where  hoaie-bound  cows 

Brought  down  the  pasture's  treasure, 
And  in  the  barn  the  rhythmic  flails 

Beat  out  a  harvest  measure." 

Railroad  connection  is  direct  and  convenient  with  Concord,  N.  H., 
and  Boston,  over  the  Boston  &  Lowell  system,  and  it  is  only  a  few 
miles  over  the  Concord  &  Claremont  Branch  to  Claremont  Junction 
and  connection  with  the  Connecticut  River  line  for  Southern  New 
England  and  New  York. 

Many  who  propose  visiting  Lake  Sunapee  will  prefer  coming  to  New- 
port first,  and  then  locating  on  the  lake  at  their  leisure.  The  Newport 
House,  favorii(>ly  situated  near  the  railroad  station,  has  accommoda- 
tions for  one  hundred  and  seventy-five  guests,  has  all  modern  con- 
veniences and  is  well  conducted. 

SUNAPEE  MOUNTAIN  HOUSE. 

Six  hundred  feet  higher  than  the  surface  of  Lake  Sunapee  and  over 
sixteen  hundred  feet  above  sea-level,  on  a  beautiful  round  and  fertile 
spur  of  Mount  Sunapee,  is  the  farm  of  Mr.  Natlian  S.  Johnson,  on 
which  is  the  plain  hotel  called  Sunapee  Mountain  House.  It  is  only  a 
large  country  home ;  but  one  of  those  into  which  people  of  refinement 
and  quiet  tastes  love  to  go  for  a  summer  stay.  The  host  is  a  Quaker 
gentleman ;  the  a^  nosphere  of  the  home  is  that  of  gentle  Christian 
breeding  and  good  literature ;  and  the  fare  of  the  most  substantial  New 
England  quality— the  farm  supplying  everything  i-eoded,  even  to  the 
wheat  for  the  flour.  The  surroundiisg  scenery  is  grand,  and  the  view 
of  Lake  Sunapee  the  best  to  be  had  anywhere,  while  near  mountains, 
the  Sandwicli  l^ange  and  the  cone  of  Mt.  Wasliington,  are  in  full  view.

Nsar  the  house,  and  connected  Avlth  a  walk,  Is  a  cottage  with  a  wide 
veranda,  .^ccupyin-  a  commanding-  Kite.  This,  and  others  lilce  it  soon 
to  be  built,  supplies  a  suite  of  rooms  for  a  family,  and  a  most  charming 
view  of  the  lake  below,  so  environed  by  high  hills  as  to  remind  every 
Scotchman  of  his  own  celebrated  Loch  Katrine.  The  narrow  southern 
end  of  the  lake,  with  the  steep  wooded  sides  and  rockv  tree-covered 
islands,  reminds  one  of  "Ellen's  Isle,"  as  described  in  Sir  Walter 
Scott's  "Lady  of  the  Lake "  :  — 

•'  And  farther  as  the  hunter  stray'd, 
Still  broader  sweeps  its  channels  made. 
The  shaggy  mounds  no  longer  stood, 
E'r.erging  from  entangled  wood, 
But  wave-encircled,  seem'd  to  float, 
Like  castle  girdled  with  its  moat. 
Yet  broader  floods  extending  still 
Divide  them  from  their  parent  hill. 
Till  each,  retiring,  claims  to  be 
An  islet  in  an  inland  sea." 

The  raib-oad  station  is  Mount  Sunapee,  on  the  Concord  &  Claremont 
section  of  the  Northern  Division  of  the  Boston  &  Lowell  Railroad. 
The  post-office  is  Chandlerville,  Merrimack  County,  N.H.  Whenever 
notified  in  advance  by  mail,  Mr.  Johnson  will  meet  guests  and  take 
them  the  mile  up  the  mountain  free  of  charge. 

LAKE   VIEW   HOTEL. 

This  excellent  hotel,  a  picture  of  which  may  1  seen  on  page  78,  has 
a  fine  location  on  t'^e  west  side  of  Liike  Sunapee,  and  overlooking  its 
entire  expanse.  Tne  view  of  Mount  Sunapee  and  other  mountains 
which  shut  in  the  basin,  which  include  tnc  long  narrow  soutii-east  end 
of  the  lake,  is  a  particularly  attractive  one ;  while,  as  Scott  says  of  the 
Scottish  Highland  lake,  so  the  .sunset  eiTect  is  seen  from  this  western 
hillside :  — 

"One  burnished  sheet  of  living  gold, 
Loc\  Katrine  lay  beneath  him  rolled." 

The  islands  are  in  full  view,  the  camp  at  Rlodgett's  Shore  on  the 
east,  and  the  wide  upper  expanse  of  the  lake.  New  London  on  the 
opposite  side,  Avith  th.  majestic  peak  of  Kearsargc  rising  still  farther 
to  the  east.  The  house  was  thoroughly  overhauled  and  renovated  last 
year,  and  managed  with  great  acceptance  by  M.  P.  Courser,  who  will 
be  the  landlord  for  the  season  of  1886. 

The  entire  absence  of  mosquitoes,  no  hint  of  hay-fever,  with  the 
fine  berries,  lake  flsh  and  xi'esh  farm  supplies,  give  the  place  an  excel- 
lent reputation.  Communication  witli  the  outside  world  is  over  the 
high  hill  north-westward,  from  the  summit  of  which  is  a  superb  view, 
to  Sunapee  Harbor  and  Sunapee  post-office,  or  by  boat  on  the  lake  from 
a  landing  in  front  of  the  hotel. 

On  the  hillside  near  this  landing  are  the  charmingly  located  cottages 
of  Col.  G.  H.  Dana,  of  Newport,  one  of  which  he  occupies  himself. 
These,  with  others  near  by  on  the  main  shore  and  on  tlie  neigiiboring 


68 

islands,  constitute  a  considerable  summer  settlement,  the  beauty  and 
comforts  of  which  must  be  seen  and  enjoyed  to  be  appreciated. 

A  little  farther  south  on  tlie  west  shore,  on  a  pretty  ])ay,  is  the 
Wetherby  farm,  where  there  are  some  very  good  cottages  sites.  And 
the  stone  farm-house,  furnished,  Avith  wood-pile  and  stable  room,  can 
be  rented  of  Mr.  George  IJ.  Wetherby,  Sunapee,  by  month  or  season ; 
who  will  also  furnish  farm  supplies,  all  of  the  best.  This  place  and 
its  facilities  can  be  commended. 

SUNAPEE,  OR  SUNAPEE  HAKHOR. 

This  village  is  th(>  centre  of  the  town,  and  has  several  mills,  two 
churches  and  the  liunals  House.  The  latter  is  near  the  steamboat 
landing,  overlooking  "  The  Harbor,"  which  is  a  long  deep  bay  crooked 
like  a  horn.  Out  of  this  bay  flows  the  outlet  of  the  lake.  A  large 
white  farm-house  overlooking  the  village  is  the  home  of  Hon.  William 
Sturoc,  who,  besides  being  an  excellent  farmer,  sustains  the  reputation 
of  being  a  literary  man,  whose  poems  liave  been  imblished  in  both  this 
c<mntry  and  Scotland,  the  latter  the  land  of  his  nativity. 

NEWBURY   .  ilORE. 

Newbury  is  a  very  mountainous  town,  with  a  sparse  population. 
There  is  a  little  vill.ig-  about  the  south-east  end  of  Lake  Sunapee,  at 
the  railroad  station  and  steamboat  wharf.  West  of  here,  along  the 
narrow  southern  end  of  the  lake,  is  u  flne  shore,  with  alternating  points 
and  coves  with  beaches.  On  one  of  these  points  Mr.  Nathaniel  White, 
late  of  Concord,  N.H.,  intended  to  erect  a  large  hotel,  for  which  he 
prepared  the  foundation.  When  this  house  is  built,  it  will  be  one  of 
the  most  attractive  places  about  the  lake.  Both  west  and  north  of 
Newbury  station  are  some  excellent  cottage  site- ,  and  all  about  are 
wonderful  berry  pastures. 

NEW   LONDON. 

This  educational  centre  is  situate  on  the  uplands,  and  commands  a 
very  extensive  view.  The  Colby  Literary  and  Scientific  Institution 
lo  ited  here,  is  under  the  especial  patronage  of  tlie  Baptist  denomina- 
tion, and  is  Li  a  flourishing  condition.  The  1)eautiful  scenery  of  the 
place,  together  with  the  refinement  of  much  of  the  society,  brings  many 
summer  visitors.  The  place  is  reached  by  stages  from  Potter  Place 
station  on  the  Northern  Division  of  the  Boston  &  Lowell  Railroad, 
or  Bradford  station,  on  the  Concord  &  Claremont  Branch  of  that 
road;  and  in  summer,  from  Nevvbury  station  on  tlie  latter  brunch 
railroad,  and  thence  l)y  the  steamer  "Lady  Woodsum,"  on  beautiful 
Lake  Sunapee,  which  bounds  the  west  side  of  the  town.  There  are 
other  flne  sheets  of  water  in  the  territory  and  numerous  streams. 
There  is  a  good  hotel  and  several  good  boarding  houses.  The  place 
is  recommended  to  tliose  who  are  glad  to  get  away  to  a  quiet  inland 
and  roland  town.

"  We  had  been  wandering  for  many  days 
Through  the  rough  northern  country. 

We  had  seen 
The  sunset,  with  its  bars  of  purple  cloud, 
Like  a  new  heaven,  shine  upward  from  the  lake 
OfWinnlpesaukee;  and  had  felt 
The  sunrise  breezes,  midst  the  leafy  isles 
Which  stoop  their  summer  beauty  to  the  lips 
Of  the  bright  waters." 

There  is  no  mistaking  the  Amesbury  bard's  opinion  of  this  lalte  re- 
gion ;  and  no  visitor  to  tlie  mountain  region  sliould  neglect  to  make  a 
voyage  across  the  lake  from  the  Weirs.  Little  or  much  time  may  be 
taken  for  this;  for  there  are  delightful  places  of  sojourn  at  Centre 
Harbor,  Wolfboro',  and  on  some  of  the  islands.  The  excellent  steamer, 
"Lady  of  the  Lake,"  which  constitutes  i)urt  of  the  Boston  &  Lowell 
line,  is  commanded  by  Captain  Wadleigh,  a  courteous  gentleman,  whom 
to  know  is  to  respect,  whose  --'  nite  knowledge  of  the  lake,  its  islands, 
with  their  history,  and  all  t'  .nountain  peaks,  is  freely  given,  and 
makes  the  sail  one  of  the  most  delightful  imaginable.  The  steamer's 
paddles,  escaping  steam  and  whistles  awake  many  echoes  among  the 
hills,  and  reminds  one  of  another  of  Whittier's  conceits,— 

"  And  the  bear  on  Osslpee 
Climbed  the  topmost  crag  to  see 

The  strange  thing  drifting  under; 
And,  through  the  haze  of  August, 
Passaconaway  and  Paugus 

Looked  down  in  sleepy  wonder." 

By  the  present  arrangements,  the  trip  from  Boston  to  Centre  Harbor 
can  be  made  in  four  and  one-half  hours,  over  the  Boston  &  Lowell 
Railroad,  in  conuocliou  with  the  "Laily  of  the  Lake."    If  the  visitor  has 


i: 


70 

already  been  impressed  by  the  fine  view  from  the  shore,  the  steamer  voy- 
age will  enhance  his  admiration  tenfold.  There  is  a  constant  succes- 
sion  of  charming  views,  in  which  the  beautiful  waters,  the  grace- 
fully rounded  shores,  the  swelling  hills  upon  the  borders  of  the  lake, 
the  romantic  islands,  and  the  distant  mountain  peaks,  combine  in  many 
entrancing  pictures. 

The  lake  has  an  area  of  upwards  of  71  square  miles,  exclusive  of 
its  274  islands.  Its  shores  are  very  irregular,  and  their  line  around  the 
lake  has  an  extent  of  no  less  than  182  miles ;  its  length  is  about  twenty- 
five  miles  and  it  varies  in  width  from  one  to  ten  miles,  and  is  in  the 
counties  of  Belknap  and  Carroll.  It  is  very  irregular  in  form  and  is 
472  feet  above  the  level  of  the  sea.  Several  of  its  islands  are  large,  and 
compose  excellent  farms  of  from  200  to  500  acres.  There  are  no  very 
large  streams  flowing  into  the  lake,  and  it  is  supposed  that  a  large  part 
of  the  water  supply  comes  from  sub-aqueous  springs.  The  largest 
streams  which  enter  the  lake  are  the  Merry  Meeting  and  Smith's  rivers, 
at  the  southern  extremity ;  the  other  tributaries  being  short  brooks, 
or  the  outlets  of  adjacent  ponds. 

The  derivation  of  the  euphonious  name  is  variously  given,  some 
claiming  that  Winnipesaukee  means,  in  the  Indian  tongue,  "The  Beauti- 
ful Water  in  a  High  Place ; "  while  others  say  its  significance  is,  "The 
Smile  of  the  Great  Spirit."  When  one  has  viewed  its  beautiful  expanse 
from  one  of  the  surrounding  hills,  either  definition  of  the  name  will  be 
accepted  as  eminently  appropriate. 

Every  one  Avho  has  read  Starr  King's  "  White  Hills,"  is  familiar  with 
what  Edward  Everett  has  said  of  the  beauty  of  Lake  Winnipesaukee, 
beginning,  "  T  have  been  something  of  a  travel-tir  in  my  own  country." 
Besides  these  well-known,  if  not  trite,  wori>.  Dr.  C.  T.  Jackson  has 
written  :  "  But  if  our  mountains  cannot  challenge  comparison  Avith  the 
Swiss  and  Tyrolose  Alps,  if  we  have  not  the  glaciers,  with  their  wonder- 
ful variety  and  grandeur  of  form,  we  have  lake  and  forest  scenery,  which 
for  peculiar  and  bewitching  beauty,  may  be  pronounced  uiirivalled, — 
an  immense  sheet  of  pure  and  sparkling  water  enclosed  in  an  amphi- 
theatre of  mountains,  from  whose  sunnnits  the  dark  foliage  of  a 
northern  forest  sweeps  in  one  unbroken  mass  down  t.)  the  very  edge 
of  the  water,  whose  surface  is  dotted  with  innumerable  islands,  f-rested 
with  the  towerhig  pines,  whose  dark  mass  is  repeated  in  a  crystal 
mirror.  And  first  among  our  lakes  is  Wlmiipesaukee.  The  hand  of 
man  has  done  nothing  to  add  to  its  charm  :  ii  cannot  l)oast  either  the 
marble  villas  of  Como,  or  the  terraced  islands  of  Lake  Maggiore,  cov 
ered  with  tropical  foliage.  Were  it  not  for  the  smoke  which  here  and 
there  curls  up  from  among  the  pines,  the  eye  would  hardly  trace  the 
presence  of  luan  from  many  points  of  Its  shores  and  islands.  From 
the  shore  the  range  of  vision  is  soon  stopped  by  the  Islands,  whieli 
can  hardly  be  separated  from  each  other  In  the  dhn  distance ;  but,  from 
tlie  SI.. limit  of  any  one  of  the  numerous  mouutahis  which  surround  the 
lake,  the  whole  extent  of  its  surface  is  .spread  out  like  a  map,  and

►  gutters  ill  the  sunlight  like  a  sliect  of  crystal  sprinkled  with  emeralds. 

On  (lie  of  the  numerous  Islands  there  lived  for  years,  solitary  and 
alone,  an  aged  spinster,  familiarly  known  as  Aunt  Dolly.  In  this  wild 
and  romantic  spot,  almost  entirely  cut  off  frora  the  rest  of  the  world, 
she  lived  in  hermit  independence,  takiPdr  tare  of  her  few  sheep,  and 
ofcasionally  rowinir  her  own  skiff  to  the  main  land. 

Centre  Harbor,  A\  ith  two  prominent  hotels,— the  Senter  House  and 
Moulton  House,— and  numerous  boarding  houses,  has  long  been  a 
favored  summer  resort.  It  is  only  ten  miles  distant  from  the  Weirs 
by  steamer.  Red  Hill,  2,043  feet  high,  is  near  the  town.  Its  summit 
commands  a  magnificent  view. 

From  Centre  Harbor  stages  run  to  Moultonboro',  Ossipee  Mountain 
Park,  Sandwich,  Centre  Sandwich,  North  Sandwich  and  South  Tarn- 
worth. 

Wolfboro',  another  famed  summer  resort,  is  upon  the  eastern  shore, 
nearly  opposite  the  Weirs.  The/e  are  a  number  of  commodious  hotels,— 
of  which  the  Pavilion  Hotel  and  the  Glendon  House  are  the  largest,— 
and  more  than  a  dozen  boarding  houses. 

THE    WEIKS. 

Situated  on  the  shore  of  Lake  Winnipesaukee,  with  a  grand  outlook 
across  its  waters  upon  the  high  mountains  beyond,  is  the  station  of  the 
Weirs.  In  colonial  times  the  Indians  had  flsh-wcirs  here,  in  the  shal- 
lows near  the  outlet  of  the  lake,  and  caught  shad.  Once  a  year  the 
Winnipesaukee  tribe  encamped  about  here,  and  passed  weeks  in  feast- 
ing. The  remnants  of  the  old  stone  dams  along  which  the  nets  were 
stretched  reninined  long  after  the  English  came.  Near  by  is  the  Endi- 
cott  Rock,  which  was,  in  1652,  inscribed  Avith  Gov.  John  Endicott's 
name  and  the  initials  of  Edward  Johnson  and  Simon  Willard,  the 
two  officers  sent  by  Massachusetts  to  find  the  head  of  the  Merri- 
mack. This  rock  has  been  raised  from  its  bed  in  the  stream,  at  the 
point  where  it  flows  from  the  lake,  and  now  most  of  it  is  above  the 
surface  of  the  water.  The  remains  of  the  dam  and  the  historic  stone 
may  be  seen  on  the  riglit,  just  before  the  train  reaches  tbe  Weirs  sta- 
tion. The  Indians  told  the  surveyors  that  the  stream  flowing  from 
the  lake  was  the  true  head  of  the  Merrimack ;  but  Passaconaway,  in 
1G59,  informed  Major  Waldron  that  the  name  was  applicable  either  to 
that  stream  or  to  tlie  Pemigewasset. 

The  Weirs  of  the  present  day  is,  in  the  summer-time,  a  place  of  very 
popular  resort.  A  series  of  grove  meetings— religious,  temperance 
and  military  —  attract  thousands  of  visitors  during  the  month  of 
August ;  many  coming  from  near  points  for  a  day  only,  while  others 
encamp  here,  or  sojourn  in  cottages  or  in  the  hotels,  of  which  there 
are  three,  viz,.,  the  Hotel  Weirs,  the  Lakeside  House,  and  the  Winne- 
cootte  House.  As  the  traveller  approaches  the  station  from  the  south, 
the  grove  of  the  New  Hampshire  Veterans'  Association  is  on  the  left, 
and  just  beyond  is  tlie  Hotel  Weirs.     A  large  building  used  as  a  meet-

Ing  place  and  a  dining  hail  by  tlie  Veterans  is  in  tlie  rear  of  the  hotel 
and  the  Winnecoette  House  still  farther  up  the  hill.     Ten  Grand  Army 
departments    have    roomy    and    convenient    cottag.s,    five    having 
been  built  the  present  season.    A  new  and  tasty  building  for  head- 
quarter offices  has  also  been  built  near  the  railroad  station  and  steam- 
boat landmg.    The  latter  has  been  extended  one  hundred  feet  over  the 
water,  the  past  season,  and  upon  it  a  much-needed  and  well-appointed 
restaurant  built,  which  the  travelling  public  will  And  ready  to  supply 
all  needs  or  reasonable  wants;  being  built  on  an  elevated  platform 
over  the  waters  of  the  lake,  it  will  be  found  a  delightfully  cool  and 
pleasant  place  in  which  to  obtain  refreshment,-the  waters,  shores  and 
islands,  with  the  majestic  surrounding  mountains,  being  in  full  view 
The  grove  where  most  of  the  religious  gatherings  are  held  is  on  the 
right,  just  beyond  the  station,  and  between  the  railroad  ai-.d  the  lake 
Additional  land  on  the  left  of  the  railroad  has  also  been  purchased,  and 
a  new  church  thereon  is  proposed.    A  skating  rink  was  built  on  the  hill 
west  of  the  station  last  year,  which  is  conducted  ou  strictly  temperance 
principles,  which  is  true  of  all  the  place.    The  steamboat  wharf  is 
near  the  station;  and  the  steamer  "Lady  of  the  Lake,"  which  plies 
between  this  point  and  the  two  famous  resorts  at  the  head  of  the 
lake,  and  on  the  eastern  shore,— Centre  Harbor  and  Wolfboro',— con- 
nects with  all  the  day  express  trains. 

In  the  view  from  The  Weirs,  the  Ossipee  Mountains,  culminating  in 
Mt.  Shaw,  are  seen  to  special  advantage.  On  their  left  is  the  sharp 
peak  of  Chocorua,  and  stretching  away  from  them  in  the  same  direction 
are  Paugus,  Passaconaway,  White  Face,  Tripyramid,  and  Sandwich 
Dome  or  Black  Mountain,  in  the  order  here  given.  Nearer  is  Red  Hill, 
just  back  of  Centre  Harbor.  A  little  distance  above  The  Weirs,  Mt.' 
Washington  is  for  a  moment  visible. 

The  landscapes  and  water  views  from  any  spot  about  the  Weirs  are 
remarkably  fine,  but  are  especially  so  from  Captain  Wadleigh's  home, 
on  the  hill  to  the  right  of  the  Weirs,  or  from  the  hotel  piazzas ;  the 
sunset  views  are  a  special  feature.  This  whole  region  is  a  favorite 
with  the  Quaker  poet  who  has  written— 

"  The  shadows  round  the  inland  sea 

Are  deepening  into  night; 
Slow  up  the  slopes  of  Ossipee 

They  chase  the  lessening  light. 
Tired  of  the  long  day's  blinding  heat, 

I  rest  ray  languid  eye, 
Lake  of  the  Hills !  where  cool  and  sweet 

Thy  sunset  waters  He ! 

Along  the  sky,  in  wavy  lines, 

O'er  isle  and  reach  and  bay, 
Green-belted  with  eternal  pines, 

The  mountains  stretch  away. 
Below,  the  maple  masses  sleep 

Wliere  shore  with  water  blends, 
While  midway  on  tho  tranquil  deep 

The  evening  light,  dQscends.

So  seemed  it  when  yon  hill's  red  t  rown 

Of  old,  the  Indian  trod, 
And,  througli  tlio  HiinHot  air  looked  down, 

I'pon  the  ymilc  of  (lod." 

The  "red  crown"  refers  to  Itcd  Hill,  north  of  tlie  lake,  not  far  from 
Centre  Harbor,  which  is  2,043  feet  high,  and  commands  a  magnificent 
view.  The  "  Smile  of  God"  refers  to  the  supposed  meaning  of  Win- 
nipesaukee,  referred  to  in  a  preceding  paragraph. 

OSSIPEE   MOUNTAIN   I'AKK. 

"  The  topmost  crag"  of  Ossipee  formerly  went  ?)y  tlie  homely,  if  ex- 
pressive, name  of  "  Black  Snont."*  At  a  March  meeting,  in  1882,  the 
citizens  of  Moultonboro'  changed  it  to  "Mount  Shaw,"  in  honor  of  Mr. 
P..  F.  Sl^a^v,  of  Lowell,  Avho  has  a  large  estate  iu  a  remarkably  beauti- 
ful glen,  nearly  a  third  of  the  way  up  its  grand  side,  known  as  Ossipee 
Mountain  Park.  It  contains  5,000  acres,  iu  which  there  is  every  desir. 
able  beauty  of  crag,  forest  and  cascaded  stream. 

Yielding  to  pressing  importunities,  the  owner  has  consented  to  share 
its  beauties  with  others,  and  has  opened  it  to  the  public. 

"  The  Hall"  is  situated  in  the  midst  of  a  lawn  of  seven  acres,  on  the 
edge  of  a  plateau  800  feet  above  the  waters  of  Winniposaukee. 

There  is  a  brook  through  the  premises  Avhicli  reminds  one  of  Long- 
fellow's description  of  another,  not  far  off: — 

"At  first,  resembling 
A  little  child,  that  all  alone 
Comes  venturing;  down  the  stairs  of  stone, 

Irresolute  and  trembling. 
Later        ****** 
Out  of  the  forest  dark  and  dread, 
Across  the  open  fields  it  fled 
Like  one  pursued  and  haunted." 

The  stream,  known  as  th^  Weelohka,  has  a  descent  of  250  feet  in  its 
mile  through  the  park,  and  a  remarkably  beautiful  cascade  with  a  fail 
of  49  feet.  The  "ramble"  alonir  this  brook  and  over  its  rustic  l)ridires, 
which  cross  and  recross  it,  is  the  delight  of  visitors.  There  are  five 
miles  of  woodland  paths,  and  from  the  vistas  cut  at  various  points,  and 
from  a  crag  12G  feet  higher  than  -The  Hall,"  known  as  "Crow's  Nest," 
most  wonderful  sunset  views  maybe  had;  IMoosilauke  on  the  west,  and 
Kearsarge  and  Monadnock  at  the  south-west,  l)eing  included  in  the  vast 
landscape.  The  poet  AVhittier  is  one  of  those  most  enamored  with 
this  place,  and  from  here  might  have  written  his  well-known  lines  : — 

"First  a  lake 
Tinted  w'ith  sunset ;  next  the  wavy  lines 
Of  far  receding  hills;  and  yet  more  far, 
Monadnock  lifting  from  his  night  of  pines 
His  rosy  forehead  to  the  evening  sun."

This  uncommon  resort  is  in  tlic  town  of  Moultonuoro',  N.H.,  and  Is 
reached  from  Weirs  Station  by  tlie  steamer  "  Lady  of  theLalve"  to 
Centre  Harbor,  wlicre  a  sta^e  awaits  her  noon- trip  arrival.  The  stage 
passes  through  tlie  villages  of  Moultonborj' Mills  and  Corner  t.*  the 
"Tark."  This  stage  drive  is  notable  for  the  excellent  views  it  supplies 
of  the  tinest  of  all  the  mountain  ranges,  Sandwich  Dome,  Tripyramid, 
Passaconawaj ,  Cliocorua  and  Whiteface  coming  successively  into  sight. 
At  one  place  tlio  road  winds  around  the  face  of  tlie  acclivity  300  feet 
above  tlie  liighway  at  its  base,  supplying  a  wonderful  view  of  the  lake. 

Tlie  Hall  is  home-like,  with  all  sanitary  ap{)ointments.  The  table  is 
supplied  from  tlie  farm  and  dairy.  As  a  retreat  for  rest  without  mo- 
notony, tliis  highland  glen  is  commended.  Sulphur  and  chalybeate 
springs  are  here  found.  Connuunications  addressed  to  B.  F.  Shaw, 
Lowell,  Mass.,  receive  earliest  attention.  Application  should  oe  made 
in  advance  of  arrival,  as  there  is  no  village  to  accommodate  "over- 
flow." 

8QUAM  LAKES  AND   ASIJUAM   HOUSE. 

Lying  west  and  north-west  of  Winnipesaukee  are  the  Squam  lakes, 
of  which  there  are  three.  Tlicy  may  ])e  reached  via  steamer  "  Lady  of 
the  Lake"  from  The  Weirs  to  Centre  Harbor,  and  thence  by  carriage 
over  a  delightful  road  some  seven  miles.  But  the  most  direct  route  is 
by  rail  to  Ashland,  {^nd  thence  by  stage  or  mountain  wagon  to  Shepherd 
Hill,  which  rises  eight  hundred  feet  in  the  centre  of  the  laud  dividing 
the  three  lak<  ■.  On  this  immense  round  hill  of  rock,  partly  covered 
with  ."oil,  is  situated  the  popular  Asquam  House.  This  hill  has  long 
enjoyed  an  envial)le  reputation  for  the  grandeur  and  beauty  of  the  v.ew 
as  seen  from  its  summit.  It  is  here  that  Whittier's  poem,  "The  Hill- 
Top,"  has  its  location ;  and  in  it  he  wrote  : — 

"  I  felt  the  cool  breath  of  the  North; 

Between  me  and  the  sun, 
O'er  deep,  still  lake,  and  ridgy  earth 

I  saw  the  cloud-sha  "  'S  run. 
Before  me  stretched  for  gliHteninjj  miles, 

Lay  mountain-girdled  Squam; 
Like  green-winged  birds,  the  leafy  isles 

Upon  its  bosom  swarm. 

•A  good  look  off,'  the  driver  said ; 

******* 

A  lady,  who,  from  Thornton  Hill, 
Had  liold  her  i)lace  outside 

******* 

Besought  me  with  so  sweet  a  smile, 

That — although  I  hate  delays — 
I  could  not  choose  but  rest  awhile.'  " 

And  there  are  few  people  "  with  soul  so  dead"  tliat  they  would  not 
involuntarily  stop  Avhen 

"The  top-stone,  bare  and  brown," 

of  this  grand  liill  is  reached.     The  "  bare  and  brown  "  ledge  is  exposed 
in  many  places,  ])ut  otherwise  covered  with  thin  grass  ;  tlie  top  surface

summit,  round  the  sides,  are  bushes  and  forest  trees  ;  thus  leavini?  the 
round  crown  of  the  great  liill  as  that  of  a  l)ald-headed  man  with  his 
encircling  locks  below  !  The  scene  spread  l)efore  one,  as  he  stands  on 
this  elevation,  is  such  that  it  will  not  do  to  dweU  apon,  for  fear  of 
being  accused  of  exaggeration.  It  is  sufficient  to  say  that  it  is  the 
favorite  view  of  our  beloved  Quaker  poet;  and  every  summer  he  comes 
to  review  it.  On  the  north  side  of  the  hill,  under  the  trees,  from  a 
rustic  bench  on  a  broken  ledge,  "the  Bard  of  Liberty"  secures  his 
particular  delight.  It  is  a  view  through  a  narrow  vista,  made  by  the 
pines,  birches  and  poplars,  out  upon  the  lake  far  ])elow;  several  of  the 
islands  are  seen,  and  away  beyond  the  lake, 

"  There  towered  ChoeoruaV  peak,"' 

as  he  originally  saw  it;  its  green  ])aso  and  high  white  horn  filling  the 
vista,  as  through  the  latter  Avas  a  frame  for  the  view.  TIi  •  Rev.  Mr. 
Nichols,  of  Christ  Church,  Hartford,  Conn.,  is  to  1)uihl  a  cottage  on 
these  "  Whittier's  Rocks "  this  season;  Captain  Bunce,  of  the  U.  S. 
Navy,  has  one  near  by,  and  a  few  others  are  located  on  the  eastern 
slope  of  the  hill.  From  the  hotel  veranda,  or  its  tower,  the  whole 
basin  and  surrounding  mountains  can  be  seen  at  ii  glance.

SUNAl'EE   LAKE. 

This  beautiful  sheet  of  water  is  in  a  basin  at  the  height  of  land  that 
divides  the  waters  of  the  Connecticut  and  Merrimack  rivers,  and  bor- 
ders the  eastern  part  of  Sullivan  and  tlie  western  part  of  Merrimack 
counties,  and  is  surrounded  by  the  towns  of  Newbury,  New  London 
and  Sunapee.  It  is  about  ten  miles  in  length,  and  from  one-half  to  one 
and  a  half  miles  in  width.  Ili-h  hills  and  mountains  surround  it  on  all 
sides,— Sunapee,  Croy<lon  and  Gi an tluua,  and  grand  Kearsarge  being 
among  its  mountain  sentinels,  while  Ascutney,  in  Vermont,  is  in  sight 
over  the  lower  western  elevation^.  Numerous  beauuf  ul,  wooded  islands 
add  charm  to  the  surface,  while  the  irregular  shape  of  the  lake 
gives  many  projections  of  land  and  indent.  Jons  of  Avater  supplying 
the  most  favorable  locations  for  coHages  and  camping  places.  Tradi- 
tion says  that  this  was  a  favorite  lake  of  tho  x<id  men,  and  that  hv^e 

"  Strode,  wild  and  free,  the  daring  ...If^'^quin ; 

And  wliere,  percbance,  tlio  stotoly  ?V  .acorn

Tlie  name  Sunapee  is  derived  from  the  Algonquin  words  Suna 
and  apee,  meaning  goose-wfter,  sliowJn<.r  ti.at  this  wa:^  a  favorite  resort 
of  the  wild  geese,  w'u  h  gave  it  an  jfdditional  attraction  to  the  Indian,

The  west  shore  is  generally  bold,  while  on  the  east  shore  there  are 
several  beaches  of  fine,  Mhite  sand.  At  various  points  around  the  lake, 
and  on  some  of  the  islands,  settlements  of  summer  cottages  have 
sprung  up,  Including  Pine  Clift",  Camp  Comfort,  Blodgett's  Landing, 
Great  and  Liberty  Islands,  and  the  shore  near  the  Lake  View  House.' 
This  latter  is  situated  on  a  prominent  spot  overlooking  the  lake  in  its 
whole  expanse,  and  giving  a  flue  view  of  the  surrounding  mountains, 
and  of  the  town  of  New  Loudon,  on  the  east  side. 

Additions  and  improvements  the  past  season  will  increase  the  com- 
forts and  conveniences  of  this  well-known  and  well-appreciated  house ; 
the  points  of  attraction  being  its  elevation,  wide  views  of  lake  and 
mountains,  pure  water  and  air,  excellent  table,  pure  milk  from  the  fine 
herd  of  cows,  and  produce  from  the  sun-ounding  farm,  with  com- 
fortable nights,  convenient  access  to  the  steamer  dock,  and  regular 
connection  Avith  the  trahis  at  Xewbury  station,  and  telephone  connec- 
tion Avith  Newport,  the  shire  town  of  Sullivan  County. 

At  Sunapee  Harbor  is  the  outlet  of  the  lake  by  Sugar  River,  on  which 
are  many  manufactories.  Near  by  is  the  excellent  llunals  House,  the 
postefflce  of  Sunapee,  and  churches.  This  is  also  the  home  of  the 
companionable  and  versatile  Scotchman,  William  C.  Sturoc,  Esq., 
thoroughly  acquainted  with  the  history  of  all  the  region,  whose  lines' 
we  have  already  quoted,  and  whose  nativity  will  account  for  his  use  of 
the  word  "Ben"  for  mountains,  and  reference  to  Scotland's  fair 
Katrine,  in  the  following  lines,  published  in  the  volume  of  New  Hamp- 
shire Poets : — 

"  Sweet  Granite  '  Katrine '  of  this  mountain  land  I 

Oh  jewel  set  amid  a  scene  so  fair ! 
Keursargo,  Aacutney,  rise  on  either  hand, 

Wliilo  Gran.ham  watches  with  a  lover's  care, 
And  o;ir  darlv  "  Ben  "  to  Croydon  sends  in  glee, 
A  greeting  o'er  thy  silvery  breast.  Lake  Sunapee." 

The  dark  "Ben"  is  Mount  Siuiapee,  on  tlie  south.  The  waters  of  the 
lake  are  peculiarly  clear  and  free  from  all  organic  matter,  and  well 
stocked  Avith  l^lack  bass,  land-locked  salmon,  pickerel,  perch  and  other 
llsh.  There  is  a  staunch  steamer,  called  the  "Lody  "Woodsum,"  which 
plies  regularly,  morning  and  night,  connecting  with  the  trains,  and  can 
be  chartered  at  reasonal)le  rates  for  excursions  during  the  day ;  another, 
and  larger  l^oat,  named  Edmund  Burke,  has  recently  been  put  on  these 
waters,  to  acc^ommodato  the  increasing  excursion  business. 

When  the  Middlesex  Canal,  between  Boston  and  Lowell,  was  pro- 
jected, in  170;5,  the  Hon.  James  Sullivan,  Judge  of  the  Massachusetts 
Supreme  Court,  and  afterwards  Governor,  conceived  that,  via  the 
Middlesex  Canal,  the  Merrimack  and  Contoocook  rivers,  a  canal  con- 
necting with  Lake  Sunapee,  then  its  outlet.  Sugar  Klver,  to  the  Con- 
necticut at  Claremont,  and  thence  by  streams,  in  nortnern  Vermont, 
water  communication  might  be  had  Avith  the  St.  LaAvrence  and  the 
great  lakes;  but  Avhen  the  exploring  engineers  found  that  Sunapee

its  junction  with  tlie  Connecticut,  and   tlie  same  at  tlie  outlet  of  the 
Contoocooli  into  the  Merrimack,  tlie  project  was  auai ■■cloned. 

Lilx'rty  Island,  in  the  middle  of  the  lake,  connected  by  small  islands 
and  bridges  Avitli  tlie  main  land  near  tlie  Lake  ^'iew  House,  is  nearly 
1,880  feet  long;  Great  Island  contains  about  75  acres,  and  its  north  end 
is  a  high  ledge ;  Gardner's  Island,  between  the  two  former,  containing 
an  acre,  is  the  prettiest  of  all,  and  the  best  site  for  a  nice  cottage. 

MASCOMA   LAKE. 

This  lake,  lying  partly  in  Lebanon  and  partly  in  Enfield,  is  about 
five  miles  in  length,  and  averages  about  a  third  of  a  mile  in  breadth. 
The  scenery,  as  viewed  from  the  lake,  is  very  beautiful— lying  as  it 
does  in  the  midst  of  high  hills—with  a  varied  landscape  of  forests, 
cultivated  lands  and  distant  mountain  peaks. 

*      •     *    O'er  no  sweeter  lake 

Shall  morning  break  or  noon-cloud  sail,— 
No  fairer  face  than  thine  shall  take 

The  sunset's  golden  vail." 

On  the  southerly  side  of  the  lake  are  the  buildings  and  rich  lands  of 
the  Enfield  Shakers.  Within  a  few  years  the  shore  of  the  lake  has 
become  the  resort  of  summer  camps ;  some  families  occupying  rustic 
cottages  and  others  tents.  Still  more  cottages  and  a  boarding  house 
are  now  projected.  A  small  steamer  sails  upon  tlie  lake  in  the  summer 
months,  connecting  Avith  the  trains  at  East  Lebanon  and  Enfield,  and 
taking  parties  to  the  various  cottages  and  camps.  The  waters  are 
stocked  with  black  bass  and  pickerel,  inviting  the  skill  of  the  fisher- 
man, and  often  handsomely  rewarding  him.  From  the  surrounding 
hills  fine  views  may  be  had  of  the  Green  Mountains,  and,  from  some 
points,  of  the  White  Mountains,  while  Mount  Cardigan,  3,156  feet 
high,  is  only  about  fourteen  miles  away. 

The  name  Mascoma  is  derived  from  two  Indian  words  :  namos,  fish, 
and  com,  water  or  pond.  The  first  sylable  na  has  been  dropped  and  a 
added  for  euphony :  thus  Mascoma ;  the  emphasis  being  on  the  first 
syllable.  The  Manchester  name  of  Amoskeag  is  essentially  the  same 
word ;  Na-mos-keag,  meaning  fish  place ;  and  the  Canadian  river,  Ya- 
maski,  is  of  the  same  derivation. 

There  is  geologic  evidence  that  formerly  the  lake  was  much  larger, 
and  some  convulsion  of  nature  rent  the  outlet  at  Efst  Lebanon,  which 
is  very  narrow;  more  recently,  by  the  hand  of  man,  a  dam  across  the 
gorge  outlet  has  partly  restored  the  old  level  of  water.  It  lies  in  two 
basins,  and  a  causeway  with  drawliridge  divides  the  two  parts.  Great 
luantities  of  white  lilies  are  seen  in  the  l)order  of  the  hike,  along 
which  the  main  line  of  the  Nortliern  Division  is  located. 

NEWFOUND    LAKi.. 

This  mountain  lake,  seven  miles  long  and  fliree  miles  wide,  lies  in 
the  towns  of  Bristol,  IJridgewater  and  Hebron,  and  is  reached' l)y  the 


i 


SI 

Bristol  branch  of  the  Northern  Division  of  tlie  Boston  &  Lowell  Rail- 
road from  Franklin,  N.  H.  Up  to  the  present  time  it  has  been  little 
known  to  the  outside  world,  but  is  sure  to  be  a  favorite  resort  when 
the  public  come  to  appreciate  its  advantages.  It  is  now  resorted  to  by 
many  camping  parties.  The  distance  from  Bristol  to  the  principal 
camping  place  is  between  four  and  Ave  miles,  over  a  good  road,  as- 
cending most  of  the  way.  The  population  about  the  lake  is  sparse, 
but  kindly  disposed  toward  responsible  and  respectable  campers.  The 
farmers  readily  supply  teams  for  transportation.  The  principal  flsh  are 
chub,  perch,  pickerel,  black  bass,  lake  trout  and  land-locked  salmon. 


NEWFOUND  LAKE.

The  lake  is  surrounded  by  very  high  hills,  and  there  are  three  moun- 
tams  at  the  northerly  end.  There  are  quite  a  number  of  islands,  mostly 
covered  Avith  wood,  supplying  camping  retreats ;  Little  Belle  Island 
being  a  favorite  place.  There  is  a  good  supply  of  both  sail  and  row 
boats.  The  shores  have  all  the  characteristics  of  the  mountain  lake 
bemg  bold  and  precipitous  in  some  places,  and  at  others  low  and  sandy' 
Off  Sugar  Loaf  Mountain,  180  feet  of  line  is  required  for  fishing  so 
deep  is  the  water.  A  very  good  house,  called  the  Lake  View  Hotel  is 
located  near  the  waters,  in  Bridgewater.  Many  of  the  farmers  about 
the  lake  take  boarders,  and  many  pleasant  places  may  be  found  for  a 
long  or  short  stay.  At  many  points  there  are  pastures  where  great 
quantities  of  berries  may  be  gatliered.  Those  who  have  camped  and 
boarded  here  speak  in  high  tern:S  of  praise  of  the  localiiy.  It  has  the 
charm  of  great  quietness  and  liill-country  scenery.

LAKE  MRMPIIUKM.VOOG. 

Newport,  Vt.,  which  may  be  reached  in  a  short  ride  from  the  moun- 
tains, or  by  the  IMontrcal  &  Boston  Air  Line  express  trains,  is  upon 
the  northern  verge  of  Vermont,  and  at  the  head  of  tlie  beautiful  LalvO 
Memphrcma-og.     The  Memphreniagog  House  is  a  large  and  finely  ap- 
pointed hotel,  which  attracts  crowds  of  fashional>le  visitors  m  the 
summer  season,  and  is  under  the  management  of  Mr.  W.  F.  Bowman, 
which  is  a  guarantee  of  its  excellence.     Tlie railway  station,  steamboat 
landing  and  hotel  are  contiguous,  and  the  hotel  piazzas  command  a 
magnificent  view  of  the  lake  and  the  neighboring  mountains.     A  promi- 
nent object  seen  on  the  west  shore  of  the  lal^e,  about  a  dozen  mdes 
distant,  is  Owl's  Head.    This  mountain,   on  account  of  it^  isolated 
position,  becomes  a  picturesque  feature  in  tlie  landscape,  A^hile  its 
summit  commands  a  magnificent  view  of  the  lake  and  the  surround- 
ing countrv.    There  are  many  fine  rambles  and  drives  in  and  about 
Newport;  and  excursions  upon  the  lake  by  steamer,  sail-boat  and 
row-boat,  form  anotlier  source  of  pleasure.      Newport  is  upon  the 
direct  Montreal  &  Boston  Air  Line,  the  South  Eastern  Railway  form- 
ing here  a  junction  with  the  Passumpsic  liailroad.    This  latter  road 
also  has  a  line  running  north  to  Sherbrooke,  and,  in  connection  with 
the  Grand  Trunk  Railway,  to  Quebec. 

THE  CONNECTICUT    LAKES. 

The  Connecticut  Lakes,  the  head  waters  of  the  Connecticut  River, 
like  the  Rangely  Lakes,  furnish  rare  sport  for  the  angler;  and  the  sur- 
rounding forests  abound  in  game,  including  deer  and  lordly  moose. 
A  pleasant  carriage  ride  of  twenty-five  miles  from  Colebrook,  along 
the  valley  of  the  Upper  Connecticut,  and  through  West  Stewartstown, 
Canaan  (Vt.) ,  and  Pittsburgh,  Avill  bring  one  to  tlie  lower  and  largest  of 
the  three  lakes.  There  is  a  cosey  hotel  here,  the  Connecticut  Lake 
House.  Tlie  lower  lake  covers  about  three  square  miles,  and  has  an 
elevation  of  1,(518  feet;  the  second  lake  has  an  elevation  of  1,852  feet; 
and  the  third  lake,  of  2,058  feet. 

A  trip  of  about  twelve  miles  east  from  the  first  Connecticut  Lake, 
over  an  old  logging  road  and  bridle  path,  leads  to  Parmachenee  Lake.

CHAPTER    X. 

PLYMOUTH   AND   THE   PEMIGEWAS8ET   HOUSE. 

In  the  mind  of  the  traveller  these  two  names  are  synonymous.  When 
the  town  is  mentioned,  visions  of  a  neat,  capacious,  finely  appointed, 
and  splendidly  kept  hotel  arise;  and,  if  the  hotel  is  referred  to,  a 
beautiful  town  surrounded  by  hills,  watered  by  the  winding  Pemige- 
wasset  River,  and  with  pleasant  and  inviting  country  roads  stretching 
out  over  hill  and  through  dale,  comes  into  being.  The  Court  House, 
the  Normal  School  building,  and  several  churches,  are  the  most  prom- 
inent edifices  besides  the  hotel.  The  old  Court  House,  now  a  library 
building,  in  rear  of  the  present  Court  House,  is  the  one  in  which  Daniel 
Webster  made  his  first  plea.  It  was  removed  from  the  south  part  of 
the  village.  The  Pemigewasset  intervales,  at  Plymouth,  are  broad  and 
very  picturesque,  and  scattered  over  them  are  many  beautiful  elm 
trees.  Mount  Prospect,  formerly  known  as  North  Hill,  is  in  the 
neighboring  town  of  Holderness,  between  four  and  five  miles  from 
Plymouth.  The  view  from  the  top  is  very  grand,  embracing  as  it  does 
the  neighboring  lakes  and  great  numbers  of  mountain  peaks.  Liver- 
more  Falls,  between  two  and  three  miles  above  Plymouth,  are  in  a 
rocky  defile  of  the  Pemigewasset  River.  They  will  well  repay  a  visit, 
as  will  also  the  New  Hampshire  and  Massachusetts  State  fish-hatching 
establishment  near  by 

The  Pemigewasset  House  has  long  been  one  of  the  most  popular  of 
the  mountain  hotels,  by  reason  of  both  its  pleasant  situation  and  its 
high  standard.  The  building  has  a  frontage  of  220  feet,  is  four  stories 
in  height,  and  its  rooms  are  especially  spacious,  airy  and  comfortable. 
The  halls  are  commodious;  and  the  dining  room,  from  necessity,  is  a 
large  apartment.  Every  railway  traveller,  as  well  as  the  summer 
visitor  who  tarries  long  within  its  walls,  feels  a  personal  interest  in 
this  popular  hotel,  for  the  reason  that  it  is  the  chief  dining  station  on 
the  route  going  either  north  or  south. 

THE  PEMIGEWASSET   VALLEY  AND   FRANCONIA  NOTCH. 

The  opening  of  the  Pemigewasset  Valley  Branch,  in  1883,  marked  a 
new  era  in  White  Mountain  travel.  Hitherto  the  traveller,  upon  his 
arrival  at  Plymouth,  liad  the  choice  presented  him,  if  he  intended  go- 
ing to  the  Profile  House,  of  pursuing  Ills  fartlier  journey  by  stage  (a 
distance  of  thirty  miles),  or  of  continuing  by  rail  via  lethlehem  Junc- 
tion, and  thus  entering  that  famous  retreat  from  tlie  north.  Tlie  only 
means  of  reaching  any  of  the  numerous  hotels  and  boarding  houses

along  tlie  beautiful  valley  were  furnished  by  stage.  These  limited 
facilitiej!  prevented  many  persons  from  taking  one  of  the  most  delight- 
ful journeys  afforded  in  the  whole  round  of  mountain  travel.  The 
Pemigewasset  Valley  has  always  been  a  favorite  haunt  of  artists  and 
the  lovers  of  Nature.  The  approach  to  the  high  mountains  of  the  Fran- 
conia  Range  furnishes  a  constant  succession  of  beautiful  landscapes. 
In  many  places  the  valle'-  broadens  into  pleasant  intervales,  where  the 
river  winds  amid  luxuris  eadows,  while  the  dark  hills  rise  on  either 
side.  In  the  blue  distance,  up  the  long  vista,  are  seen  the  bold  out- 
lines of  Mounts  Lafayette,  Lincoln,  Liberty,  Flume,  Pemigewasset, 
Cannon,  and  Kinsman.  A  turn  In  the  road  brings  before  one  a  new  and 
charming  picture,  the  mountain  forms  about  tlie  Franconla  Notch  be- 
coming more  and  more  distinct.  There  are  several  little  villages,  and 
numerous  farn^  liouses,  scattered  through  the  valley;  and,  as  might  be 
expected,  the  most  attractive  and  commanding  situations  have  been 
cho,;en  for  hotels  and  boarding  houses.  At  Camptou  a  view  opens  to 
the  right,  up  the  Mad  River  Valley,  which  so  fascinated  Longfellow, 
and  the  wildness  of  whose  stream  inspired  him  to  write — 

" '  Why  dost  thou  so  wildly  rush  and  roar, 

Mad  River,  O,  Mad  River? 
Wilt  thou  not  pause  and  cease  to  pour 
Thy  hurrying,  headlong  waters  o'er 

This  rocky  shelf  forever?' 

*  I  heard  the  distant  ocean  call, 

Imploring  and  eutreating; 
Drawn  onward,  o'er  this  rocky  wall 
I  plunged,  and  the  loud  waterfall 

Made  answer  to  the  greeting. 

And  now,  beset  with  many  ills, 

A  toilsome  life  I  follow ; 
Compelled  to  carry  from  the  hills 
These  logs  to  the  impatient  mills 

Below  there,  in  the  hollow. 


Men  call  me  mad,  and  well  they  may, 

When,  full  of  rage  and  trouble, 
I  burst  my  banks  of  sand  and  clay, 
And  sweep  their  wooden  bridge  away, 

Like  withered  reeds  or  stubble.' " 

The  debris  along  the  Mad  River  and  Pemigewasset  valleys,  with  the 
wash  of  sand  and  stones  over  many  a  meadow,  plainly  shows  what 
torrents  sometimes  pour  down  these  streams  when  spring  thaws  or 
summer  rains  overfill  them.  At  North  Woodstock  the  east  branch  of 
the  Pemigewasset  enters,  coming  from  a  pass  through  the  mountains 
which  leads  direct  to  Fabyan's,  and  along  which  It  Is  proposed  to  some 
day  extend  the  railroad  now  terminating  at  this  point,  which  would 
much  shorten  the  distance  to  the  heart  oi  the  mountains.  There  is  a 
foot-path  through  this  valley  at  present,  and  good  trout  streams  abound.

From  being  a  place  of  no  special  importance,  before  the  opening  of 
the  railroad,  North  Woodstock  has  come  into  great  favor  witu  sum- 
mer sojourners.  Having  easy  rail  connection  to  the  South,  and  be- 
ing within  ten  miles  of  the  Profile,  with  all  the  Franconia  Notch 
attractions  between,  with  a  fine,  wide  valley,  num».rous  side  valleys,  a 
multitude  of  trout  brooks,  as  yet  but  little  fished,  and  with  mountain 
views  on  all  sides,  its  houses  were  crowded  last  season.  Increased 
accommodations  will  await  the  larger  number  of  visitors  sure  to  come 
this  year.  While  the  east  branch  valley  leads  to  Fabyan's,  from  the 
west  flows  the  Moosilauke  Brook,  on  which  is  the  Agassiz  Basin  which 
has  some  remarkable  rock  scenery.  Through  this  valley  a  path  only 
eight  miles  long  leads  to  Moosilauke  Mountain.  There  is  a  point  on 
this  path  where  nearly  all  the  Tresidential  Range  and  many  other  grand 
mountains  cun  be  seen. 

From  North  Woodstock  to  the  Profile  House  a  gap  of  between  ten 
and  eleven  miles  remains  to  be  traversed  by  stage.  The  railroad  ride 
presents  a  magnificent  series  of  views  throughout  its  whole  extent, 
and  renders  a  journey  expeditious  that  was  formerly,  from  necessity, 
slow ;  but  there  are  few  travellers  who  will  regret  the  fact  tnat  the 
stage-coach  has  been  left  to  perform  a  part  of  the  trip,  and  a  part  whore 
the  visitor  would  the  more  willingly  linger.  The  stage  outfit  is  of  the 
best  description,  and  the  ride  from  the  terminus  of  the  railroad  up 
through  the  Franconia  Notch  is  delightful. 

The  valley  towns  passed  through  on  the  railroad  journey,  after  leav- 
ing Plymouth,  are  Campton,  Thornton  and  Woodstock.  Each  of  these 
places  presents  rare  attractions  for  the  summer  sojourner;  and  Camp- 
ton,  more  especially,  is  liberally  provided  with  boarding  houses.  The 
upper  part  of  the  valley  is  mainly  a  wilderness,  with  but  few  houses 
until  the  Flume  and  Profile  Houses  are  reached.

THE   STAGE   RIDE. 

Gaining  a  seat  in  or  upon  one  of  the  fine  stage-coaches  which  ply 
between  North  Woodstock  and  the  Profile  Hous,e,  the  traveller  drinks 
in  the  pure  mountain  air,  and  feasts  his  eyes  upon  new  visions  of 
beauty.  Soon  after  leaving  North  Woodstock,  the  road  crosses  Har- 
vard Brook,  upon  which  the  Georgiana  Falls  are  situated,  between  one 
and  two  miles  distant.  The  valley  has  now  narrowed ;  and  the  dark 
mountain  ridges  crow«^  upon  either  side,  with  here  and  there  a  little 
intervale  of  field  and  meadow,  or  forest  tract.  Little  Coolidge,  Big 
Coolidge,  and  the  Potash  Mountains  rise  upon  the  right;  Pemigewas- 
set  Mountain  on  the  left;  while  in  front  are  the  bold  forms  or  Mounts 
Flume,  Liberty,  Lincoln  and  Lafayette.  Only  one  or  two  houses  are 
seen,  until  the  Flume  House,  about  hali  way  on  the  road  to  the  Profile 
House,  is  reached.  This  is  a  large  and  pleasant  hotel,  which  has  re- 
cently been  much  enlarged.  It  is  in  proximity  to  those  great  natural 
wonders,  the  Flume  and  the  Fool,  which,  however,  can  best  be  visited, 
when  time  can  be  given,  in  a  special  excursluu  from  the  Pronic  House.

unless  the  visitor  intends! 
to  make  tlie  Flume  House 
his  stopping  place.  Both 
hotels  are  under  the  same 
management.  The  Flume 
upon  Flume  Brook,  a  mile  dis- 
tant; and  the  Pool,  upon  the 
remlgowassct  Rivor,  half  a  mile ' 
distant  by  a  pleasant  pathway  through  the  forest.  Pemigewasset 
Mountain,  a  higli  spur  of  Mount  Kinsman,  rises  in  rear  of  the  Flume 
House.  The  view  from  the  summit  towards  the  superior  peaks  on 
the  opposite  side  of  the  valley,  and  of  the  valley  southward,  is  very 
fine.  Tlie  peaks  on  tlio  east  side  of  the  valley  form  the  profile  called 
"Washington  lying  in  State;"  Mount  Liberty  serving  as  the  face, 
Avith  its  highest  ridge  as  the  nose.  From  tlie  Flume  House  to  the 
little  plateau  on  which  the  Profile  House  is  situate^,  there  la  au

ascent  of  543  feet ;  and  the  road  winds  through  tiie  forest,  with  fre- 
quent glimpses  of  the  high  beetling  cliffs  on  either  iide.  The  pass  is 
in  places  very  narrow.  Tlie  Temigewasset  River,  here  a  tumbling, 
rapid  stream,  is  crossed  a  little  distance  above  the  Flume  House ;  and 
the  Basin  is  beside  the  road  a  mile  farther  on.  The  frowning  southern 
cliffs  of  Cannon  or  Profile  Mountain  are  seen  in  front  for  some  distance, 
Avhile  Eagle  Cliff  rises  as  the  eastern  wall  of  the  Notch;  and  when  the 
beautiful  little  Profile  Lake  is  nearly  passed,  and  the  Profile  House 
nearly  reached,  tlie  rugged  features  of  the  famous  profile  itself  comes 
plainly  Into  view.  Out  of  the  placid  little  lake,  now  at  one's  feet,  flows 
the  Pemigewasset,  which,  in  the  thirty  miles  between  here  and  Ply- 
mouth, has  a  fall  of  over  fifteen  hundn  d  feet.  This  mountain  lakelet 
is  the  true  source  of  the  Merrimack  River.  The  distance  from  Boston 
to  the  Profile  House  by  this  route  is  only  one  hundred  and  fifty-six 
miles,  and  to  the  Flume  House,  one  hundred  and  fifty-one  miles. 

THE  PROFILE   HOUSE. 

One  of  the  great  centres  of  resort  in  tlie  White  Mountains  region  is 
the  Franconia  Notch.  Two  of  the  great  natural  wonders  of  the  White 
Hills,  the  Profile  and  the  Flume,  are  to  be  seen  within  its  precincts; 
and  its  whole  environment  is  of  the  most  romantic  description.  liug- 
gcd  mountains,  and  peaceful,  placid  lakes,  one  of  which  mirrors  the 
stern  visage  of  the  "Old  Man  of  the  Mountain,"  Avho  has  so  long 
looked  out  from  his  high  perch  on  the  cliffs,  combine  their  picturesque 
charms  to  render  this  spot  cue  of  matchless  beauty.  The  Profile 
House,  one  of  the  most  fam'jus  of  the  mountain  hotels,  is  situated  in 
the  midst  of  all  this  grandeur.  The  little  mountain-encircled  plateau 
occupied  by  the  Profile  House  f?nd  its  dependencies  stands  1 ,974  feet 
above  the  sea;  and  the  hotel  is  tlie  highest  in  the  mountains,  except 
those  on  Mount  Washington  and  Moosilauke.  Mount  Cannon,  on  the 
southern  face  of  which  the  great  Profile  hangs  twelve  hundred  feet 
liigher,  rises  on  the  Avest  to  the  height  of  3,8r»0  feet,  or  1,876  feet  higher 
than  the  hotel ;  while  Eagle  Cliff  towers  on  the  east  side  of  the  glen, 
1,472  feet  above  the  Profile  House,  or  8,446  feet  above  the  sea.  The 
summit  of  Mount  Lafayette,  5,259  feet  high,  is  less  than  four  miles 
away,  by  a  winding  bridle-path,  although  hidden  by  the  nearer  though 
lesser  heights.  A  little  distance  north  of  the  hotel  is  the  beautiful 
Echo  Lake ;  and  still  nearer,  in  tlie  opposite  direction,  is  Profile  Lake, 
equally  an  object  of  beauty;  while  across  its  fair  expanse,  and  some- 
times crowned  by  a  wreath  of  clouds,  is  the  Avonderf ul  Profile,  the  most 
remarkable  object  of  its  kind  in  the  world,  the  naturalness  of  which 
at  once  impresses  every  beliolder,  and  the  picture  of  which  will  ever 
after  remain  with  great  distinctness  in  the  mind.  As  soon  as  the  grim 
majesty  of  the  profile  is  seen,  one  at  once  understands  the  impression 
made  on  the  poet, — 

*  *  ♦    "  Like  a  sun-rimmed  cloud, 

Tbo  great  Nolch  mouutalns  shone, 
VVftlciic'doverby  ihe  solonin-browcd 

And  awful  face  of  atone."

The  face  is  formed  by  a  series  of  three  ledges,  one  of  which  forms 
the  forehead,  another  tlie  nose  and  upper  lip,  and  the  third  the  chin. 
When  viewed  from  the  front,  all  resemblance  to  a  human  face  is  lost. 
The  face  was  discovered,  in  1805,  by  two  workmen  on  the  Kotch  road. 
The  Flume  is  situated  between  five  and  six  miles  below  the  Proflle 
House,  and  near  the  Flume  House.  It  is  a  great  Assure  in  the  rocks, 
about  seven  hundred  feet  long,  and  from  sixty  to  seventy  feet  In  depth. 
The  walls  are  perpendicular ;  and  in  the  narrowest  part  a  huge  bowlder, 
which  at  some  remote  period  crashed  down  the  mountain  side,  formerly 
hung  suspended.  On  the  20th  of  June,  1883,  a  great  storm  occurred 
in  the  mountains,  accompanied  by  several  terrific  land-slides,  one  of 
which,  starting  nearly  at  the  top  of  Mount  Liberty,  gathei'ed  force 
when  it  reached  tlie  Flume  stream,  and  swept  down  the  narrow  defile 
with  resistless  fury,  carrying  everything,  even  the  great  bowlder,  be- 
fore it.  Thousands  of  huge  rocks  were  hurled  down  the  ravine  and 
spread  over  a  wide  space  below.  The  most  marvellous  changes  were 
wrought  within  the  Flume  itself.  Not  only  was  the  gigantic  bowlder 
hurled  from  its  position,  but  the  rift  was  much  extended,  and  deepened 
in  places.  Although  it  is  a  great  disappointment  to  the  present  trav- 
eller not  to  see  thut  stone  which  "  if  it  had  been  a  '  little  bolder'  would 
have  fallen  through;"  yet  in  the  opinion  of  many  the  Flume  is  more 
remarkable  than  before.  At  the  upp^r  end  a  new  cascade  was  created, 
and  an  immense  rock  was  thrown  over  upon  others,  while  the  under 
side  was  hollowed  out  so  as  to  leave  a  grotto  of  respectable  size.  A 
plank  walk  extends  up  through  the  Flume  beside,  and  at  times  partly 
over,  the  stream.  The  Flume,  Pool  and  Basin  are  generally  included 
in  a  round  excursion  from  the  Proflle  House ;  and,  for  the  accommo- 
dation of  guests,  carriages  are  run  at  stated  hours.  The  ride  is  de- 
lightful, as  a  splendid  road  extends  through  the  Notch,  along  the  side 
of  the  Pemigewasset  Iliver.  The  waters  of  Profile  Lake  and  a  little 
pond  just  above  it  flow  into  the  Pemigewasset,  forming,  in  fact,  its 
source ;  while  Echo  Lake  flows  into  one  of  the  tributaries  of  the  Con- 
necticut. There  are  mai^y  pi  sant  rambles  in  the  vicinity  of  the  two 
lakes,  a,nd  boating  and  flshiiv  dso  enter  Into  the  list  of  amusements. 
Bald  Mountain,  north  of  Echo  Lake,  and  eajily  reached,  affords  a  glo- 
rious lookout.  Mount  Cannon  is  ascended  on  foot,  but  not  without 
much  exertion ;  and  the  summit  of  Lafayette  is  reached  on  horseback. 
Mount  Cannon  derives  its  name  from  a  large,  flat  rock  near  its  summit, 
which  bears  a  strong  resemblance  to  a  cannon  when  viewed  from  below. 

In  its  size,  appointments,  and  the  cliaracter  of  its  management,  the 
Profile  House  befits  its  noble  surroundings  ps  fully  as  the  works  of  man 
could  be  expected  to  meet  such  grand  requirements.  The  hotel  accom- 
modates l)etween  five  and  six  hundred  guests  in  royal  style.  It  is  a 
very  fashionable  resort ;  and  its  register  of  guests  is  a  roll  of  the  most 
honored  names  of  Boston,  New  York,  Brooklyn,  Philadelphia,  and  the 
South  and  West.  Tlie  table,  celebrated  for  its  excellence,  derives 
niany  fresh  delicacies  from  the  fine  Proflle  House  farm  in  Fraucoula.

THE  7LUUE.

A  choice  herd  of  Jersey  cows,  for  example,  furnishes  fresh  milk.  Gas 
and  water  are  supplied  throughout  the  liouse  ;  and  the  sanitary  arrange- 
ments were  perfected  a  few  years  ago,  at  great  expense,  imdcr  the  <?'- 
rection  of  one  of  the  foremost  sanitary  engineers  of  America;  steam 
heat  has  been  extended  over  the  whole  house,  which  has  also  had  a 
thorough  renovation  and  its  substantial  features  made  yet  more  valu- 
able. An  orchestra  plays  during  the  season,  both  afternoon  and  eve- 
ning, for  the  pleasure  of  the  guests.  The  Proflle  House  has  gained  its " 
great  reputation  under  the  proprietorship  of  Messrs.  Taft  &  Greenleaf , 
and  will  continue  under  the  same  able  supervision.  .^ 

The  Flume  House,  situated  at  the  south  entrance  to  the  Notch,  Ave 
miles  bel  JW  the  Proflle  House,  has  the  sam^^  proprietorship  as  tiie  latter. 
It  is  under  the  popular  management  (f  the  Elliot  Brothers,  and  since 
its  recent  enlargement  continues  to  enjoy  a  large  and  appreciative 
patronage. 

Not  far  from  here,  to  the  southwest,  up  among  the  mountains  is 
situate  I-onesome  Lake,  the  property  and  favorite  resort  of  William 
C.  Prime,  of  the  "New  York  Journal  of  Commerce,"  who  has  a  log  cabin 
on  its  shores,  and,  with  friends,  here  spends  much  time  hunting  and 
Ashing. 

M008ILAUKE. 


"And  west 
MooBilaake's  woods  were  seen, 
With  many  a  nameless  slide-scarred  crest 
And  pine-dark  gorge  between." 

For  many  miles,  while  the  traveller  is  approaching  Warren  Summit, 
on  the  White  Mountains  Division  of  the  Boston  &  Lowell  Railroad,  his 
eyes  will  rest  on  a  grand  peak,  on  the  rigtit,  when  going  northwest,  and 
will  willingly  linger  on  it  while  descending  into  the  valley  of  the  Con- 
necticut, attesting  the  correctness  of  Whittier's  description. 

An  excursion  to  the  summit  of  Moosilauke  may  easily  be  made,  and 
with  very  little  detention  in  case  the  traveller  desires  to  bestow  his 
time  upon  the  more  northern  and  eastern  regions  of  the  mountans. 
Moosilauke  is  4,811  feet  in  altitude,  and  the  highest  peak  in  New  Ha'.np- 
shire  west  of  Mount  Lafayette.  It  is  situated  chiefly  in  Benton,  a  iittle 
distance  across  the  line  from  Warren ;  and  the  travelled  approach  is 
from  the  station  on  the  White  Mountains  Division  of  the  Boston  & 
Lowell  Railroad,  in  the  latter  town.  The  name  of  the  mountain  l^n 
often  been  corrupted,  on  maps  and  in  guide-books,  into  "Moose  HiUock," 
and  to  m>'ny  residents  of  the  vicinity  is,  perhaps,  best  known  as  such ; 
but  its  title  is  of  Indian  origin,  and  was  derived  from  two  Indian 
words, — moosi,  signifying  "bald,"  and  auJce,  "place;"  the  letter  I 
having  been  inserted  for  euphony.  The  appropriateness  of  calling  the 
mountain  a  "bald  place,"  instead  of  a  "hillock"  or  a  "place  for  moose," 
is  readily  seen.  A  carriage  road  extends  to  the  summit,  where  a  com- 
fortable hotel — the  Tip-Top  House — will  be  found.  The  view  is  one 
of  the  iinest  Ut  be  had  in  the  mountain  region,  and  the  glories  of  a  sua- 


9t 

set  and  sunrise  when  witnessed  from  such  an  elevation  surpass  descrip- 
tion. 

The  isolation  of  Moosilauke  makes  it  the  grandest  of  view  points. 
On  its  summit  is  the  broad  plateau  from  which  the  Indian  name  is  de- 
rived, and  it  is  covered  with  mosses,  alpine  daisies  and  mountain  cran- 
berries. 

The  new  Moosilauke  House,  erected  on  the  site  of  the  well  and  favor- 
ably known  Breezy  Point  House,  is  at  the  base  of  the  mountain,  midway 
upon  the  stage  road  from  Warren  to  the  Summit.  It  is  1 ,700  feet  above 
|he  sea  level,  and  has  accommodations  for  about  100  guests,  supplying 
the  best  of  modern  hotel  appliances  and  service.  There  is  a  beautiful 
maple  grove  near  the  house,  and  the  whole  region  is  famous  for  trout 
fishing.  The  ascent  from  the  Moosilauke  House  to  the  Summit  is 
easily  made  by  buckboard,  or  oa  foot,  in  about  three  hours. 

The  Moosilauke  and  Tip-Top  Houses  are  under  the  business  manage- 
ment of  Mr.  John  F.  Thayer,  to  whom  all  correspondence  should  be 
addressed  at  Breezy  Point,  N.H.,  while  the  domestic  arrangements  will 
continue  under  the  control  of  Miss  S.  F.  Woodworth. 

A  regular  stage  line  from  Warren  to  the  Moosilauke  House  and  Tip- 
Top  House  runs  in  connection  with  train  leaving  Boston  at  8.30  A.M. 

LITTLETON. 

Pleasantly  situated  in  the  valley  of  the  Amraonoosuc,  on  both  sides 
of  the  stream,  and  extending  up  the  neighboring  hillsides,  is  the  town 
of  Littleton,  one  of  the  largest  and  most  prosperous  places  in  Northern 
New  Hampshire.  Neat  and  picturesque  cottages,  busy  streets  and 
stores,  and  several  manufacturing  establishments,  which  do  not  mar 
the  scene,  are  the  characteristics  of  the  place  roost  readily  noticed  by 
the  traveller.  There  is  a  large  hotel— Thayer's  White  Mountain 
House— in  the  village ;  and  another— the  Oak  Hill  House— occupies 
a  commanding  positi{)n  on  the  heights.  There  are  several  boarding 
houses  f  ■  the  entertainment  of  summer  guests.  Pure  air,  pure  water, 
and  all  the  other  concomitants  of  a  healthful  abiding  place,  are  found 
here ;  and  a  feature  of  special  importance  is  its  accessibility.  All  trains 
on  the  White  Mountains  Division  of  the  Boston  &  Lowell  Railroad, 
between  Boston  and  the  mountains,  or  en  route  to  or  from  New  York 
or  Saratoga,  stop  here,  and  to  good  purpose;  for  the  passenger  traffic 
here  is  quite  important  at  all  times,  and  especially  so  in  the  summer 
season.  The  town  covers  au  area  of  3G,000  acres,  and  its  population 
at  the  time  of  the  last  census  was  2,936.  The  chief  industries  of  the 
place  are  the  manufacture  of  buckskin  gloves,  and  the  production 
of  photographic  and  stereoscopic  views.  Mr.  B.  W.  Kilburn's  estab- 
lishment, which  is  devoted  to  this  latter  branch  of  business,  is  the 
largest  of  its  kind  in  the  world. 

One  of  the  raost  prominent  buildings  in  Littleton  is  the  High  School 
edifice,  which  is  on  the  heights  back  of  the  town.  The  adjacent  hills 
afford  noble  views  of  the  high  mountains ;  and  there  are  many  pleasant 


94 


05 


drives  and  rambles  in  the  vicinity.  The  rapids  of  the  Connecticut 
Rive  ,  known  as  tlie  Fifteen-Mile  Falls,  border  the  town  for  a  stretch 
of  thirteen  miles.  Waterf  ord,  Vt. ,  is  only  Ave  miles  distant,  and  Beth- 
lehem  is  about  the  same  in  the  opposite  direction.  It  Is  also  a  fine 
drive  to  Sugar  Hill,  through  Franconia. 

Since  last  season  many  improvements  have  been  made  at  Thayer's, 
among  which  may  be  mentioned  the  building  of  a  boat  house  upon  the 
shore  of  the  Ammonoosuc  River,  which  is  at  the  rear  of  the  hotel. 
Good  ])oats  can  always  be  had. 

FUANCONIA   AND   l.ISBON. 

Franconia  is  situated  just  north  of  Franconia  Notch,  and  in  the  val- 
ley of  Gale  River,  siy  miles  over  a  pleasant  stage  road  from  Littleton 
and  a  little  less  from  Bethlehem.  The  approach  from  the  latter  place 
is  over  a  spur  of  Mount  Agassiz,  and  the  descent  into  the  deep  bowl- 
shaped  valley  supplies  one  of  the  most  enjoyable  drives  In  the  whole 
hill  country.  The  nearness  of  Mount  Lafayette,  Haystack,  or  Mount 
Garfield,  and  the  other  grand  peaks  of  the  Franconia  Range,  gives  to 
the  views  great  boldness, — 

"  The  great  peaks  seem  bo  near, 
Burned  clean  of  mist,  so  starkly  bold  and  clear, 
I  almost  pause  the  wind  In  the  pines  to  hear, 
The  loose  rock's  fall,  the  steps  of  browsing  doer ; " 

while  the  foreground  of  meadow  and  forest  adds  rare  picturesqueness 
and  beauty.  The  Profile  House  is  only  six  miles  distant,  and  the  won- 
ders of  the  Notch  are  just  beyond.  Gale  River  and  Lafayotte  Brook 
afford  excellent  trout  fishing,  and  other  mountain  e  r  o  also  ac- 

cessible.   The  Bridal  Veil  Falls,  seventy-six  feet  o,re  upon 

Copper  Mine  Brook,  which  flows  down  the  west  Mount 

Kinsman.    The  Mount  Kinsman  Flume  is  on  th  f  the 

mountain.    In  the  village  are  the  buildings  of  the  Fj.  .  Com- 

pany, which  began  mining  operations  here  in  1805.    'ii_  lon  of 

the  mountain  country  is  known  to  possess  minerals  of  various  kinds, 
and  in  the  neighboring  town  of  Lisbon  are  several  gold  mines.  There 
are  a  number  of  very  popular  hotels  and  boarding  houses  in  the  tow  n ; 
and  the  Goodnow  and  Sunset  Hill  Houses,  both  large  and  fashionable 
summer  resorts,  are  a  little  distance  across  the  line  in  Lisbon.  The 
latter  is  best  reached  from  Lisbon  station,  ten  miles  below  Littleton. 
The  easterly  part  of  Lisbon,  in  which  the  above  houses  stand,  forms 
the  western  rim  of  the  Franconia  Valley,  and  overlooks  its  village  as 
well  as  includes  in  its  view  all  the  surrounding  beauties.  The  new 
Forest  Hills  House,  which  was  opened  in  1888  by  Messrs.  H.  "W.  Priest 
and  J.  "W.  Dudley,  ha^  become  a  great  favorite  with  the  best  people. 
It  occupies  a  commanding  site  on  the  summit  of  Pine  Hill,  on  the 
Bethlehem  road,  and  only  four  miles  from  that  place,  and  about 
the  same  from  the  Profile  House.  From  every  side  charming  views 
are  obtained,  including,  in  the  sweep  of  the  horizon  from  west  to  south 
anrl  past.  Riifrar  Hill,  in  T.ishnn,  the  wluilo  nf  t.lm  "Prnn/i<   i5p  VniipY

village  and  mountains,  and  the  Mount  Washington  range.  Fifty  acres 
are  devoted  to  lav.ns  and  groves.  The  he  .1  is  admirably  ccnd  cted, 
nnd  is  a  groat  acquisition  to  the  long  list  of  White  Momitaiii  hotels. 
Tlie  quiet  beauties  and  healthful  atmosphere  have  led  to  the  building 
of  severr.l  private  summer  cottages:  others  are  projected,  and  a 
farm  near  the  village  has  been  laid  out  in  streets  and  lots  for  thib 
purpose.  The  Lafayette  House  in  the  easterly  part  of  the  valley,  com- 
bines some  of  the  features  of  an  old  country  tavern  with  the  modern 
mountain  hovso,  and  is  kept  by  the  three  Richardson  brothers,  who 
were  popular  stage  drivers  in  the  old  coaching  days.  Receiving  guests 
the  year  around,  they  have  the  first  comers  in  the  summer  also,  before 
the  larger  houses  are  open.  Just  beyond,  on  the  hillside,  on  the  Notch 
road,  is  the  Profile  House  farm  with  its  fine  herds,  hotbeds  and  gardens. 

BETHLEHEM  AND  MAPLEWOOD. 

Perhaps  die  most  famous  of  the  mountain  towns  is  Bethlehem.     Sit- 
uated at  a  considerable  elevation,  commanding  a  wide  prospect,  and 
renowned  for  the  purity  and  healtlilulness  of  its  air,  it  has  become  a 
.  -mmer  resort  for  many  hundreds  of  city  denizens.     Its  hotels  and 
boirdi.-ig  houses  are  large,  and  ;    ,/ajs,  in  the  season  of  summer  visi- 
tof;=:,  filled  with  guests.     With  the  Franccnia  Range  on  the  one  hand 
and  the  Presidential  Range  upon  the  other,  the  chief  mountain  outlc  jk^ 
are  grand  in  the  extreme,  while  every  principal  point  is  easily  acct  al- 
ble.    A  spur  of  the  Profile  &  Franconia  Notch  Railroad  ascends  the  hill 
rM  traverses  the  outskirts  of  the  village  from  one  end  to  the  other. 
From  Mount  Agassiz,  a  little  distance  southeast  of  the  village,  and  also 
from  many  lesser  elevations,  wide-sweeping  ^  '".ws  may  be  had.    The 
elevation  of  Mount  Aj'assiz  is  2,042  feet.    V/  ith  its  rural  charms  unim- 
paired, Bethlehem  has  of  late  years  assumed  the  comforts  and  con- 
veniences of  a  summer  city,  including  a  supply  of  pure  water,  new 
springs  having  been  added  the  past  season,  and  the  supply  made  ample 
for  domestic  and  public  purposes,  improved  sewerage,  and  railway  com- 
munication with  the  outer  world.    From  the  station  new  walks  have 
been  laid  the  past  season  to  the  main  street  and  hotels.    In  1803,  Pres- 
ident Dwight  found  the  town  to  consist  only  of  "  log  huts,  recent, 
few,  poor,  and  planted  on  a  soil  singularly  rough  and  rocky."    He  was. 
however,  lelighted  with  the  magnificent  view  of  the  n;ountains.     The 
advantages  of  Bethlehem  as  a  resort  for  invalids  are  universally  recog- 
nized.    According  to  Professor  F.  W.  Clarke,  the  Maplewood  Hotel  is 
1,489  feet  above  the  sea-level,  and  the  Sinclair  House  1,459  feet.    A 
writer  in  "The  Boston  Medical  and  Surgical  Journal"  (Dr.  W.  H. 
Geddings)  gives  the  result  of  an  extended  series  of  observations  taken 
with  a  view  to  ascertain  the  adaptability  of  the  climate  of  Bethlehem 
to  the  wants  of  invalids.     Out  of  the  sixty-two  days  in  July  and  August, 
1878,  he  shows  that  there  Averc  only  three  days  in  which  invalids  could 
not  with  safety  have  remained  out  of  doors  during  the  whole  or  a 
part  of  the  day.    Throughout  the  whole  of  forty-seven  days  they  might 


W

have  remained  out  safely.     In  arriving  at  these  results,  Dr.  (Jeddiims 
took  into  consideration,  not  only  rainy  days,  but  also  those  Avheu  there 
was  cool  and  windy  weather.     The  exemption  from  hay-fever  enjoyed 
at  Bethlehem  has  long  l)een  one  of  the  main  considerations,  leading 
thither  hundreds  of  summer  visitors.     In  tlie  long  list  of  hotels  and 
boarding  houses,  the  largest  are  the  Maplewood  and  the  Sinclair  Houses. 
The  Maplewood  is  a  magnificent  house  of  the  largest  class ;  and  its  en- 
terprising proprietor,  Mr.  Isaac  S.  Cruft,  is  yearly  adding  to  its  extent. 
It  IS  managed   by  Messrs.   Ainslie   &  McCJilvray.      The   hotel   opens 
about  the  ilrst  of  July,  and  accommodates  over  five  hundred  guests 
The  Maplewood  Cottage  opens  June  1,  and  accommodates  one  hundred 
persons.    There  are  also  a  number  of  private  cottages  which  are  leased 
to  families  for  the  season.    The  Maplewood  has  every  desirable  feature, 
including  gas,  a  copious  supply  of  pure  water  from  springs  on  the  hills' 
a  post-office  within  the  hotel,  telegraph  station,  news  stand,  hair-dress- 
ing rooms,  bath  rooms,  l)illiard  room,  ])owling  allevs,  a  large  hall  for 
dancing  and  entertainments,  a  first-class  table,  extensive  play-grounds, 
and  a  large  livery  stable. 

The  Sinclair  House  is  the  oldest  of  the  Bethlehem  hotels.  Witliin 
the  past  few  years  it  has  undergone  extensive  alterations  and  exten- 
sions. Its  proprietors,  Messrs.  Durgin  &  Fox,  have  a  high  reputation 
as  landlords;  and  among  tlie  guests  of  the  house  are  many  who  have 
made  the  Sinclair  their  summer  a])ode  year  after  year.  'J'he  drainage 
rnd  other  sanitary  provisions  are  of  the  most  approved  character,  and 
all  the  appointments  of  the  house  are  flrst-cIass.  A  well-appointed 
livery  stable  supplies  all  requisite  facilities  for  drives  and  horsebaelv 
excursions,  and  the  opportunities  for  pleasant  rambles  are  unlimited 
Within  the  house  are  telegraph  office,  news  stand,  billiard  rooms,  bath- 
ing rooms,  etv..,  and  adjacent  to  the  hotel  are  ample  play-grounds  for 
children,  etc.  The  Sinclair  accommodates  three  hundred  and  fifty 
guests.

HOUSES. 

TJiere  are  no  better  conducted  hotels  in  America  than  Ihe  eliief  pul)- 
lic  houses  at  the  White  Mountains;  and  prominent  among  tlie  lea.ling 
establishments  are  the  chain  of  splendid  hostelries  under  the  managi- 
nieiit  and  conductorship  of  Messrs.  Barron,  Merrill  &  Barron.  As  tlie 
traveller  advances  up  the  valley  of  the  Amnionoosuc,  towards  Mount 
Washington  or  the  Crawford  Notch,  he  comes  first  uijon  tl>,.  Twin 
Mountain  House.  This  hotel  takes  its  name  from  two  jirominent  ])eaks 
of  the  Franconia  Rjiiige.  It  is  situated  upon  a  high  bluff  overlooking 
the  Amnionoosuc  River  and  a  l)roa(l  panonima  of  iiiounfains.  The 
Franconla  liange  is  seen  upon  one  liand,  and  the  Mount  Washington, 
or  Presidential  Range,  upon  the  other.  The  Twin  Mountain  House  has 
long  been  known  as  a  quiet  and  secluded  mountain  retreat;  and  many

The  Mount  Pleasant  House,  which  has  been  greatly  enlarged  within 
a  few  years  past,  is  situated  a  short  distance  from  Fabyan's,  with"  a 
glorious   outlook  upon  the  grand  peaks  of  the  Presidc.itial  Range. 
Mount  Pleasant,  from  which  the  hotel  takes  its  name,  rises  in  majestic 
form  at  the  right;   while  the  taller  Mount  Washington  is  in  front 
flanked  by  Monroe  and  Franklin  on  one  side,  and  Clay,  Jefferson  and 
Adams  on  the  other.    The  railroad  station  is  just  in  front  of  tie 
house,  and  from  the  front  piazzas  and  windows  the  Mount  Washington 
cars  can  be  p  anily  seen  on  their  winding  way  up  the  mountain  side 
and  frequently  into  the  clouds.     The  quietness,  with  the  railway  con- 
veniences, the  attractions  of  the  grove  on  the  hillside  in  the  rear,  and 
he  substantial  comforts  of  this  house  eonibine  to  recommend  it  to  a

lliis  view  is  unlike  any  other  to  be  had  in  tlie  mountains;  its  distin- 
guishing character  being  the  appearance  of  the  Notch,  which  is  spread 
out  a  thousun.l  feet  or  more  below  the  beholder,  Mounts  Webster  and 
Willey  forming  its  boundaries.  The  Crawford  House  is  under  the  per- 
sonal managemenc  of  Mr.  C.  H.  Merrill,  one  of  its  proprietors,  and  a 
gentleman  who  has  won  the  esteem  and  respect  of  the  travelling  public 
to  an  unusual  degree.  Mr.  Merrill  brings  to  his  important  task  a  Ion- 
experience  as  a  hotel  manager;  and  the  Crawford,  under  his  guidance, 
has  won  wide  fame. 

MOUNT   WASHINGTON. 

An  ascent  to  the  top  of  the  highest  mountain  peak  is  as  easily  accom- 
plished as  any  other  railway  journey,  and  the  visitor  is  compelled  to 
forego  none  of  the  comforts  or  luxuries  provided  in  the  lower  world 
At  this  remarkai,]e  elevation  he  finds  a  commodious  hotel,  to  the  very 
door  of  which,  and  through  the  clouds  it  may  be,  he  is  transported  in 
a  railway  car.    Formerly  the  clhubing  of  Mount  Washington  was  at- 
tended by  great  hardship  and  fatigue,  and  was  performed  only  by  per- 
sons of  tested  strength  and  endurance.    The  crown  of  New  England 
lifts  its  bare,  weather-beaten  summit  0,293  feet  above  the  level  of  the 
sea.    The  neighboring  mountains  are  overlooked ;  and  the  vision  ex- 
tends far  across  New  Hampshire  to  the  hilltops  of  Maine,  Vermont 
Massachusetts,  Canada,  and,  under  favorable  atmospheric  conditions' 
to  the  summits  of  New  York,  and  to  the  far  away  ocean.     The  encir- 
cling crests,  peaks  and  ridges  lie  lik.^  billows  upon  a  tempestuous  sea 
Here  and  there  dark,  shadowy  gulfs  are  seen,  while  far-distant  vilhi-es 
sparkle  in  the  sun.     The  chief  river-courses  are  readily  marked,  and, 
on  a  clear  day,  a  fair  view  may  be  had,  between  the  mountains,  of  Lake 
Winnipesaukee,  justifying  indeed  the  Red  men's  conceit  that  it  was  a 
" Smile  of  the  Great  Spirit;"  and  the  beholder  studies  geography  on  a 
grand  and  comprehensive  scale. 

The  Mount  Washington  Railway  is  necessarily  constructed  upon  a 
difterent  plan  from  ordinary  steam  roads.  A  grade  of  no  less  than 
1 ,980  feet  to  the  mile  is  actually  overcome.  Engine  and  car  travel  upon 
a  middle  ratchet-rail  in  which  cog-wheels  run.  Notwithstanding  this 
remarkable  steepness,  the  passenger  enjoys  absolute  safety,  through  a 
number  of  ingenious  devices.  Sliould  a  breakage  occur,  the  train  would 
be  brought  to  a  full  stop.  Atmospheric  brakes  are  so  arranged  that  a 
car  may  be  made  to  descend  at  a  snail's  pace,  entirely  disconnected  from 
the  locomotive.  In  ascending,  the-  car  is  pushed  ahead  of  the  engine ; 
and  there  are  safety  devices  which  prevent  the  train  from  slipping  back  a 
single  inch.  The  railvay  is  the  invention  of  Mr.  Sylvester  Marsh,  and 
has  been  improved  in  its  practical  workings  very  greatly  by  Mr.  Waltfr 
Aiken,  its  elHcient  manager.  Many  thousands  "of  i^vLcns  are  carried 
over  the  road  annually,  but  not  a  single  passenger  has  ever  been  injured. 
Mt. Washington  is  387  feet  higher  than  tlie  Rigi-Knlm,  the  famous  Swiss 
mountain,  up  the  slopes  of  wliich  two  similar  roads  have  been  built.

The  Mount  Washington  Summit  House  (0.  G.  Barron,  manager,)  is 
a  commodious  and  admirably  arranged  liotel,  well  calculated  to  tempt 
the  visitor  to  remain  over  night,  and  thus  witness  a  sunset  and  a  sun- 
rise,— spectacles  which  are  often  gorgeous  beyond  description.  Fires 
are  a  daily  necessity;  and,  to  insure  comfort  to  visitors,  the  sleepin- 
rooms  are  heated  by  steam.  The  dining-room,  office  and  narlor  arc 
large  apartments;  and  the  sleeping-rooms,  on  the  floors  above,  are 
ninety-four  in  number.  Near  the  hotel  is  an  ol)servatory  erected  by 
Mr.  Aiken,  and  upon  the  north-western  verge  of  the  little  plateau  is 
the  observing  station  of  the  United  States  Signal  Service.  The  hotel 
is  under  the  management  of  the  Messrs.  Barron,  Merrill  &  Barron, 
which  fully  guarantees  the  comfort  of  its  patrons. 

Strangers  should  use  caution  in  exploring  the  region  about  Mount 
Washington,  and  not  venture  far  from  the  beaten  paths,  unless  accom- 
panied by  a  guide.  Persons  have  perished  of  exposure  and  exhaustion 
while  lost  and  bewildered  in  the  clouds  and  storms  about  the  summit. 

JEFFERSON. 

This  town  is  in  some  sense  a  rival  to  Bethlehem.    It  is  similarly  sit- 
uated upon  an  elevation ;  and  the  pure  air  and  general  healthf ulness 
there  enjoyed  have  given  it  great  favor  as  a  resort  for  invalids  and 
pleasure  seekers.     Sufferers  from  hay-fever  and  catarrhal  complaints 
here  find  instantaneous  relief.     The  chief  village,  Jeflferson  Hill,  is 
mainly  a  long  line  of  summer  hotels.        The  outlook  upon  the  Presi- 
dential Range,  with  Mounts  Adams  { nd  Jefferson  in  the  near  front,  is 
extremely  grand.     Starr  King  declares  "Jefferson  Hill  may,  without 
exaggeration,  be  called  the  uUima  Thule  of  grandeur  in  an  artist's  pil- 
grimage among  the  New  Hampshire  mountains ;  for  at  no  other  point 
can  he  see  the  White  Hills  themselves  in  such  array  and  force.  •'    Mount 
Pliny  is  the  ancient  name  for  the  long  wooded  range  in  the  northeast 
part  of  the  town;  and  the  culminating  part  of  the  range  was,  in  18G1, 
named  Mount  Starr  King,  in  honor  of  the  author  of  "The  White  Hills." 
It  is  on  the  high  slopes  of  this  mountain  that  the  village  is  situated. 
In  the  east  part  of  the  town  is  another  group  of  boarding  houses  and 
farms,  to  which  the  post-office  designation  of  Jefferson  Highlands  and 
Meadows  has  been  given.     There  are  two  ponds  in  the  town;  one  of 
which,  Cherry  Pond,  is  upon  the  line  of  the  railroad,  while  the  other, 
the  Pond  of  Safety,  is  high  up  among  the  mountain  ridges,  2,000  feet 
above  the  sea  level.    The  former  is  the  chief  source  of  John's  River; 
and  the  latter,  of  the  Upper  Amraonoosuc.    Israel's  River  traverses 
Jefferson  from  the  southeast  to  the  northwest.     The  two  rivers,  John's 
and  Israel's,  derived  their  names  from  two  brothers,  John  and  Israel 
Glines,  who  hunted  beaver  and  other  animals  along  the  streams  before 
there  were  any  other  white  settlers  in  this  region.    The  opening  of  the 
Whitefleld  &  Jefferson  Railroad  has  rendered  Jefferson  easy  of  access  • 
and  every  year  brings  fresh  accessions  to  the  ranks  of  those  who  unite 
in  declaring,  with  Starr  King,  that  this  resort  is  without  a  peer;  for 


lOG 

from  whatever  point  in  the  town  one  loolcs  out  he  sees  grand  mountain 
forms,  while  towering  above  them  all  in  his  grandeur  is  Mount  "Wash- 
ington, the  buildings  on  which  are  in  plain  sight.  The  drive  from 
Lancaster  to  and  through  Jefferson  Street  cannot  be  surpassed,  and  is 
particularly  recommended.

LANCASTER. 

Visitors  to  the  White  Mountains  who  penetrate  the  region  no  farther 
than  the  great  hotels  which  form  the  most  noted  places  of  resort  gen 
erally  form  erroneous  ideas  regarding  the  section  of  the  State  'ivinsr 
north  of  the  chief  group  of  hills.  Some  of  the  best  farming  country 
and  several  of  the  prettiest  towns  in  th.  Granite  State,  are  there  to  be 
found.  One  of  the  most  beautiful  places ,  and  at  the  same  time  one  of  the 
most  accessil)le,  is  Lancaster,  on  the  main  line  of  the  White  Mountains 
Division  of  the  Boston  &  Lowell  Railroad,  seventeen  miles  north  of 


107 

Wing  Road.  It  occupies  the  valley  of  the  Connecticut  Hirer,  here 
quite  elevated  and  broad,  is  the  shire  town  of  C  .os  County,  and  con- 
tains the  offices  and  public  buildings  pertaining  to  a  county-seat.  The 
situation  IS  very  healthful,  and  the  climate  in  summer  is  mild  and  de- 
lightful. Fine  views  are  had  of  the  neighboring  mountains,  and  good 
roads  lead  m  all  directions,  especially  that  towards  Jefferson  Street. 
Mount  Prospect,  an  isolated  hill  three  miles  from  the  village,  on  which 
IS  an  excellent  hotel,  commands  a  royal  view  which  no  tourist  should 
lau  to  see.    It  is  easily  accessible  from  Lancaster  or  Jeff-rson. 

Ihe  new  and  elegant  Lancaster  House  forms  a  handsome  ornament 
to  this  charming  town.  It  is  supplied  with  steam  heat,  gas,  electric 
bells,  and  other  modern  hotel  appliances,  and  is  prepared  to  take  the 
best  possible  care  of  its  summer  guests.    Lancaster  is  likely  to  become

COLEBROOK. 

This  village  is  reached  via  the  White  Mountains  Division  to  Groveton 
Junction,  thence  to  North  Stratford  by  Grand  Trunk  Railway,  where 
stages  are  taken  tliirteen  miles  to  Colebrook.    It  is  situated  on  the 
eastern  side  of  the  Connecticut  River,  and  the  Mohawk  River  and 
Beaver  Brook  run  through  the  village.    The  village  is  abundantly  sup- 
plied with  pure  spring  water.    Directly  opposite  Colebrook,  on  the 
Vermont  side  of  the  river,  is  Mount  Monadnock,  from  the  summit  of 
which  there  is  a  magnificent  view ;  while  at  the  foot  of  the  mountain 
one  mile  from  the  village.  Is  a  mineral  spring  which  is  strongly  im- 
pregnated witli  sulphur  and  iron.    There  are  many  beautiful  dSves  in 
Co  ebrook  and  vicinity,  among  which  may  be  mentioned  a  drive  of  ten 
miles  to  DixvUle  Notch.    Crossing  the  Connecticut  into  Vermont,  and 
.^oing  up  the  river  eight  miles,  brings  us  to  Canaan  Village,  and  one

There  is  no  summer  resort  in  America  that  has  so  much  to  give  in  re-

proceeds  to  the  Weirs,  and  should  there  diverge  from  the  raihvay  f o'

The  advantages  of  this  kind  of  summering  are  many.    The  unhealthy 
excitements  of  hotel  life,  with  rich  food,  promiscuous  companionship 
late  hours  and  feverish  amusements,  are  avoided;  while  abundance  of 
plain,  homely  fare,  plenty  of  fresh  milk,  eggs  and  berries,  seasonable 
hours  and  healthy  diversions  are  secured.    In  many  instances,  large 
berry  pastures,  lily  and  flsh  ponds  and  streams  are  at  hand;  the  latter 
also  supplying  good  bathing  places.    Hundreds  of  such  localities  are 
within  reach  by  the  Boston  &  Lowell  Railroad.    Some  of  the  particu- 
larly favorable  places  are  found  on  the  Keene  Branch  of  the  Southern 
Division,   on  the  Peterboro'  &  Hillsboro'  Branch,   and  the  Concord 
&  Claremont  Branch  of  the  Northern  Division,  to  say  nothing  of 
the  many  better  known  localities  on  the  main  line  of   this  latter 
division  and  on  the  White  Mountains  Division.    Peterboro',  Hancock 
Hillsboro',  Henniker,  Bennington,  Dublin  (reached  from  Harrisville) ' 
Bradford,  Sunapee  Lake  region,  Newport  and  Claremont  are  particlarly 
desirable  localities;   while  many  places  a  little  off  the  railroad  line 
such  as  Nelson  and  Stoddard  (reached  from  Harrisville),  New  Lond-n 
(reached  from  Potter  Place),  Newbury,  Canaan,  Potter  Place    or 
Andover  and  Sunapee,  are  places  of  special  attractions. 

The  farm-house  boarding  places  are  particularly  desirable  for  families 
of  children,  where  the  successive  stages  of  farm  work  supplies  a  con- 
stant source  of  interest  and  pleasure  to  the  young  people,  including 
horse-back  and  hay-cart  rides,- long  to  be  remembered  with  the  fra- 
grance  of  freshly  mown  hay. 

"  Now  the  air 
Is  rich  in  fragrance  I  fragrance  exquisite  I 
Of  new-mown  hay,  of  wild  thyme,  dewy  wash'd, 
And  gales  ambrosial  come  with  cooling  breath,"' 

while  the  musical  sounds,  from  the  tinkling  cow-bells  as 

"  The  lowing  herd  winds  slowly  o'er  the  lea," 
to  the  ring  of  the  whetted  scythe,  or  the  creak  of  the  children's  swing 
hung  from  tlie  branch  of  some  huge  elm,  will  all  combine  to  store  the 
"lemoiT  with  delight.    Whittier  has  told  the  story  in  exquisite  sweet- 

"  The  bleat  of  shoep  along  the  hill  we  heard, 
The  bucket  plashing  in  the  cool,  sweet  well, 
The  pasturc-bars  that  clattered  as  they  fell ; 
Dogs  barked,  f>wls  fluttered,  cattle  lowed  ;'the  gate 
Of  the  barn-yard  creaked  beiieath  the  nu>iry  woi^ht 
Of  sun.brown  children,  listening,  while  they  swung, 
The  welcome  sound  of  supper-call  to  hear; 
And  down  the  shadowy  lane,  i!i  tinklings  clear, 
The  pastoral  curfew  of  the  cow-bell  rung." 

Children    are  almost  universally    fond    of    riding.    At  the  lareer
